Yes of course.... I think you now qualify for best sense of humor of the year along with Julian.

I have a great solution to the paper versus print dilemma.  We raise the  dues to $500.00 per year.  We elect to go all digital and included in this price is a shiney ipad for everyone.

I will now wait for someone to "second" my proposal.

Waiting, waiting, waiting................................................

I find it funny that three months after the Fun Rally we are now hearing that Shortt's bid for printing did not include shipping. Shortt is a lot of things but a mistake like this...?
I was listening in on this meeting also and I know what I heard. 
Apparently, the board convinced 'some' members of this so-called discrepancy month's ago. Why wasn't this information, if it exists, relayed to ALL of us in a timely manner?

    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.

    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.

    The last I heard (and I may have heard  wrong), the board was
    interested
    in doing a -real- accounting comparison of  printing costs, so for
    me,
    it's a wait and see kind of thing. I  agree, if POCA was missing
    out
    on
    full-color and paying $8,000 more for B/W  then something is amiss.
    However, I also believe Mr. Shortt didn't  account for all costs
    properly. I have more faith that the  present board members will
    properly investigate and sort it out for  everyone.
    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?
    I would think (and I don't know), that the  ClubExpress membership
    database might be able to include a
 "preference" as part of the
    member's
    profile or details. Just as I can set an  address and phone
    number,
    if I
    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.

    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.

   Yes of course.... I think you now qualify for best sense of humor of
   the year along with Julian.

     I have a great solution to the paper versus print dilemma. We raise
     the dues to $500.00 per year. We elect to go all digital and
     included in this price is a shiney ipad for everyone.
     I will now wait for someone to "second" my proposal.

   I find it funny that three months after the Fun Rally we are now
   hearing that Shortt's bid for printing did not include shipping. Shortt
   is a lot of things but a mistake like this...?
   I was listening in on this meeting also and I know what I heard.
   Apparently, the board convinced 'some' members of this so-called
   discrepancy month's ago. Why wasn't this information, if it exists,
   relayed to ALL of us in a timely manner?

   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.

   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.

   It's also easier to

   I would think (and I don't know), that the ClubExpress membership
   database might be able to include a

   member's
   profile or details. Just as I can set an address and phone

   if I
   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

   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.
