   Jim Grier, the club's treasurer, reported at the last board meeting in December, that the club now has $18,000 in the bank, a gain of about $800 in about three months.
Alvin Tans, DIFF's president, noted that when he first served on the board four years ago, the club had about $4,000. "Now, this looks like real money," he said.
The club has been reluctant to spend money improving the fish camp, Tans explained, because the directors were uncertain about Cape Lookout's new management plan.

fish camp where it is but requires that the cabins be replaced with more modern structures that meet current building codes. The club has also recommended that the best of the current cabins be preserved as continuing links to the rich and colorful history of surf fishing on the Core Banks.
Those sentiments were expressed in a petition that the club circulated last fall. More than 700 people signed the petition.
And the club is ready to do more than just write letters and petitions. The board of directors voted unanimously at its September meeting to allow B.K. Barringer, a board members and a certified engineer, to spend up to $2,000 of club money to design a new fish camp for the Park Service. Park planners have indicated that they would consider any plans that the club submits.
