I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it still
doesn't sit well in my gut.
Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon the
quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and if not why did
they not question further? Did Jack have all the facts when he resigned
or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an outright stand
against changing printer?
Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only
pennies between it?

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.

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:

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?

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.

I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it
still
doesn't sit well in my gut.
Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon
the
quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and
if not why did they not question further? Did Jack have all the
facts w
hen he resigned or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an
outright stand against changing printer?
Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only
pennies between it?

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.

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.

I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it still
doesn't sit well in my gut.
Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon the
quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and if not why did
they not question further? Did Jack have all the facts when he resigned
or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an outright stand
against changing printer?
Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only
pennies between it?

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.

As far as printing is concerned, it is
that first copy that is so

that bring down the per unit
cost. So as
fewer units are produced and shipped, the
cost per unit increases but
not

An apples to apples comparison was made
between an online printer and

pennies. That wasn't pennies per unit but

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?

I have digested all the emails on this topic and to be honest it
still
doesn't sit well in my gut.
Presumably the BOD voted in favor of changing printers based upon
the
quotes presented. Did they not have all the facts and
if not why did they not question further? Did Jack have all the
facts w
hen he resigned or were his and Mike Haney's resignations simply an
outright stand against changing printer?
Why did Michael push to change printer if he knew there was only
pennies between it?

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

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?

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.
