ARDA-ROC PAC Contribution

Should we or should we not pay the $5.00 or the ARDA-ROC PAC Contribution? It is only $5.00, but when you own 11 timeshares, it is $55.00? What is the TimeshareForums membership opinion of this organization?

I pay one $5.00 and decline the rest. I would think a lot of people don't even pay $5.00 since it is voluntary. What have they done for us? I don't know what they do and if they don't have any interest to let me know what they do for me as a timeshare owner, why should I feel obligated? But that's just me.

My opinion, ARDA does many things, but they are mainly a developer/exchange company organization. My ARDA contribution at $3.00 or $5.00 per timeshare is significant to my pocketbook and I don't feel what the ARDA-ROC does is enough to warrant the contribution.

This was discussed a while back, and I'm not quite as negative about the contribution as I once was:

I opt out as much possible because inevitably I always forget to do it several times per year. I end up paying a ton of ARDA fees.
