Not current members: Under $50/$50-60 (tied)

There was supposed to be a 10th question, but it apparently got lost in editing. Survey Monkey’s free account only allows 10 questions per survey.
We heard from one person who was unable to access the survey on the MW*C website index page. Survey Monkey has several possible delivery methods, but we thought putting it on the website would be easiest.
Survey #2 is coming soon.
