p.s. In my experience with young people of the day, they are more adapted to and capable of reading electronic material than most adults I know. Many classrooms now use Ipads.

I am on-board with electronic delivery,? though I do admit it's nice to
just sit back and read a paper copy? too.? It's also easier to hand-off
to Sam so he can read it? later.? How do you really fix that?

Dear AJ,
I have always respected you and your opinions but in this case you are incorrect as far as the resignation of Jack DeRyke. I was on the Board of Directors' conference call where he was asked to stay and he adamantly refused to if the printer changed. Jack's resignation was specifically because of the change in printer! You can go research that phone conference call, or the minutes of the meeting, as the facts are saved. As far as Mike Haney's resignation, that was done by his Mrs. for their reasons which most likely were aligned with their parents.

are no provisions for multiple dues levels,? particularly pertaining to how a

As far as printing is concerned, it is that first copy that is? so
expensive, it is the subsequent copies that bring down the per unit? cost.? So as

An apples to apples comparison was made between an online? printer and the
current printer for both printing and mailing and the difference? was
pennies.? That wasn't pennies per unit but for the whole run.?

Having been on Boards before - I'd suggest the current Board deserves some time to catch their breath and recover from the situation they have recently been through. It is amazing how much time something like this takes - and I suspect everyone on the Board would like to catch up on all the things they have let slide while coping with the removal of a president and all the animosity and e-mails the whole mess generated.
It's so easy to ask questions - but takes a lot more time to figure out how to do everything asked below. For now, let's just let the Board recover and slowly get some of the loose ends taken care of.

To use a cliche, we're working on it.
Most of what has been mentioned is in the pipeline. However, there are restrictions, particularly with the By-Laws as they currently stand. There are no provisions for multiple dues levels, particularly pertaining to how a member elects to have their club publications delivered, etc. That will take time as any changes or amendments must be approved by the whole membership.
The consensus seems to be that the Profiles would continue as a print publication for all except foreign members who elect to receive it digitally.
As far as printing is concerned, it is that first copy that is so expensive, it is the subsequent copies that bring down the per unit cost. So as fewer units are produced and shipped, the cost per unit increases but not proportionately.
An apples to apples comparison was made between an online printer and the current printer for both printing and mailing and the difference was pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit but for the whole run.
As far as I am concerned, it is the editors who should have the most influence as to how and where their product is produced. They are the ones who must work with the printers and mailing houses on a regular basis.

Dear AJ,
I have always respected you and your opinions but in this case you are
incorrect as far as the resignation of Jack DeRyke. I was on the Board
of Directors' conference call where he was asked to stay and he
adamantly refused to if the printer changed. Jack's resignation was
specifically because of the change in printer! You can go research
that phone conference call, or the minutes of the meeting, as the facts
are saved. As far as Mike Haney's resignation, that was done by his
Mrs. for their reasons which most likely were aligned with their
parents.

could check a box for Electronic delivery or paper copies, or both,
and
select whatever I wanted for each item (Profiles versus Newsletter),
that might be ideal.
However, I'm also familiar with quantity discounting. It very well
could be that it costs the same amount to print 500 as it does to
print
50, or 10 (but I doubt it). I imagine those are considerations the
board will look at as well.
Oh, and in contrast to what Laurie has claimed, I have heard (from
more
than one person), that Jack and Mike did not resign "because POCA
changed printers;" it was over "control" of newsletter content that in
essence fell outside the bounds of the by-laws. For a guy that
appeared
to try very hard to get everyone else to follow the by-laws (and it's
unwritten code of ethics), Mr. Shortt certainly didn't feel they
applied
to him.
For the record, as I understand it, POCA has changed printers -twice-
since the Fertitta's (sp) (who were related to the DeRykes) got out of
the business. So the "family tie-in" previously eluded to, was not a
factor in the resignations.

Most of what has been mentioned is in the pipeline. However, there
are
restrictions, particularly with the By-Laws as they currently stand.
There are no provisions for multiple dues levels,
particularly pertaining to how a member elects to have their club
publications delivered, etc. That will take time as any changes or
amendments must be approved by the whole membership.
The consensus seems to be that the Profiles would continue as a
print
publication for all except foreign members who elect to receive it
digitally.
As far as printing is concerned, it is that first copy that is so
expensive, it is the subsequent copies that bring down the per unit
cost. So as fewer units are produced and shipped, the cost per unit
increases but not proportionately.
An apples to apples comparison was made between an online printer
and
the current printer for both printing and mailing and the difference
was pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit but for the whole run.
As far as I am concerned, it is the editors who should have the most
influence as to how and where their product is produced. They are
the
ones who must work with the printers and mailing houses on a regular
basis.

Having been on Boards before - I'd suggest the current Board deserves
some time to catch their breath and recover from the situation they
have recently been through. It is amazing how much time something like
this takes - and I suspect everyone on the Board would like to catch up
on all the things they have let slide while coping with the removal of
a president and all the animosity and e-mails the whole mess generated.
It's so easy to ask questions - but takes a lot more time to figure out
how to do everything asked below. For now, let's just let the Board
recover and slowly get some of the loose ends taken care of.

I have a couple questions Bob:
> Calling this situation "multiple dues levels" seems to be making the
issue too complex. There are some members that are opting to not have
printed magazines mailed which should make those members eligible for a
discount because of the savings.
> What is your estimate of the length of time that it would take the
board to arrange for a vote of the membership to change the bylaws to
allow for this discount?
> Who specifically made that apples-to-apples comparison you refer to?
> I agree that the editors should have the most influence on the
process. However, our editors of both publications seem to have a hard
time reporting to the members about ANY issues pertaining to the
publication's themselves. Might that change in the near future or will
radio silence be the norm here?
