"In general, we've gotten a lot of positive feedback," Hunsberger said, and there is a benefit to the club's members as well. "Whenever we can cut costs, we don't have to raise dues as much."

The gross cost of the project was about $300,000, but with the aid of federal and state grants, Hunsberger said the total cost to Cripple Creek was $116,000.

"Without the federal and state grants, you'd never do it for economic reasons," he said.
