Answers follow below:

1. I paid for a prior membership under the previous operator...
   
   We have received a number of requests from former patrons regarding credit for memberships and court time that they paid for under prior ownership but did not receive.  Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate those requests, as we are literally starting the operation over "from scratch" as an Airport-operated facility.  We understand and sympathize with those who were left by the previous operator, because he also left the Airport and Township with over $15,000 in unpaid rent, back taxes, and utilities as well as thousands of dollars in damage to the facility that has to be repaired.
