[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 146, Issue 17

[Charles Engles]

Dear Judy,


            Well, it would seem that the Devil is in the details of the
allegation that "POCA's BOD is wasting $8,000/year by willfully being
overcharged".  Thanks for sharing.


                        Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Mark,A point made clear at the President's meeting in Las Vegas. That is why
printing costs have become the issue. If printed newsletters went away there
would be no printing costs. Personally I would be OK with electronic
newsletters. That is what we do with our chapter newsletter. I do not find
it so hard to print and staple a newsletter but apparently others do so I am
fine with continuing to print and mail but at some point we will have to
address costs, probably with a dues adjustment. Again I am OK with
that.Forest

  If I was given a vote today, I would elect for printed full-color
  Profiles and downloadable-only (also color) e-mail delivery Newsletters
  (as International members have been getting for some time now).
 
  I really dislike having to view everything on a computer and/or having
  to self-print onto loose pages. I wonder how many of us has EVER thrown
  out an issue of Profiles? Certainly not me.
 
  And, as a very distant (from SoCal) POCA member, pretty much the most
  tangible benefit of my membership has been the printed materials and
  content of course. I am very happy to see a modern website with the
  back issues and articles as downloads as well, but if my membership was
  entirely digital (and more work for me) it would be less attractive to
  me.

    The fact that the Profiles and Newsletters are now online (and
    hopefully at some point searchable for content and articles) I think
    adds a lot to the argument of paper vs. no paper. I must admit I do
    like the full color Profiles magazine in paper form in hand, the B&W
    newsletter would be easy to print articles from as required.
    As for the trash can all copies of both Profiles and Newsletters are
    stored on my bookshelf since I joined POCA in 2006.

    BUT....
    Has there been a poll to determine how many members really still want
    paper!!    I would say they are in the minority.
    Our POCA membership database (if there is one) should reflect whether
  a
    member wants a paper copy of electronic copies.
    Stop sending out paper products that end up in the trash can 1 day
    after they arrive.
    Same Same for the newsletter.  Let the members who want paper get
  them,
    but don't waste printing and mailing to paper that
    just will collect dust in a closet and eventually get thrown out..
    IMHO.  Feel free to flame me.  ;-)
