Well that sucks. Guess your club needs to find a solution quickly.
I don't know the size of your club, but besides the purchase of chicks ($1-$5k for the year), is there other red tape you would have to deal with that your club will incur extra cost?
If you know a lot of small clubs like yours that have been receiving for the PCG, you may need to privatize the co-op. I am sure you could request the public records of who is receiving chick donations.
Better yet, start an llc, with a privatized co-op business model.
