Triple-F Health Club (Family, Fitness, and Fun) is a not-for-profit, family-oriented health club. The clubs board of directors is developing plans to acquire more equipment and expand club facilities. The board plans to purchase about $25,000 of new equipment each year and wants to establish a fund to purchase the adjoining property in four or five years. The adjoining property has a market value of about $300,000.
