The campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity spent several Saturdays building a house for a low income family. The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma club members volunteered. On the first Saturday the Alpha Club members worked 4 hours each, the Beta Club members worked 6 hours each, and the Gamma Club members worked 8 hours each. The combined person-hours of the three clubs totaled 232 hours. On the second Saturday the Alpha Club members worked 6 hours each, the Beta Club members worked 8 hours each, and the Gamma Club members worked 10 hours each. The combined person-hours of the three clubs totaled 306 hours. On the third Saturday the Alpha Club members worked 8 hours each, the Beta Club members worked 9 hours each, and the Gamma Club members worked 5 hours each. The combined person-hours of the

three clubs totaled 263 hours.  Each club had the same number of volunteers working each Saturday. Find the number of members each club had working.
