[DeTomaso] POCA Membership Dues Analysis

[Pantdino]

I don't want to offend anyone, but not having a computer (or access to one, perhaps at the local library) at this point in history is like not having a telephone.  I'm 62 and use the computer all day at work and every evening at home, so it's not an age thing.
 
I have been to small towns all around the US that have internet access in their town library.

   This was one of my pet peeves when I was on the Board. We had the
   ability to do the Newsletter electronically but it was continually
   blocked. I agree some people want a hard copy. Want and need are two
   different issues, and there are absolutely no absolute rights to
   anything. There should be a a dues reduction for those that do not want
   or need a hard copy of the Newsletter. Otherwise, we are subsidizing
   those that get a hardcopy.
   Profiles is a different issue. IMHO, it is appropriate for that to be
   printed and mailed. It's a good idea to find cheaper ways to print and
   deliver it, however. Cheaper paper stock and a new printer would be
   high on my list of suggestions. I've posted previously about our
   experience with the Houston Fun Rally where our cost to produce the 16
   page color event profile was about 50% less than the regular POCA
   printer. That should have been a wake-up call to the Board back then
   but the suggestion to to look for a more cost-effective printer was
   ignored.
