Well I know when I look at the great picture of the car on the front and
have to read the description to know it is say a deep red - I would have
enjoyed seeing the actual color. Often the back page has some neat
pictures I would also enjoy seeing in color.
As to the cost rebidding something every so often makes complete sense.
Any well run organization should do it. In a competitive world it often
easy to get a better price with good quality if you ask.

A A It is interesting that this President changed a generous
A A grace period without notice.
A A The so-called "shortfall" is created in part by the $10
increased
A A rebate to the chapters that was NOT requested in the first
place.A The
A A return
A A of this sum places the club at nearly breakeven.A Simply, use
the money
A A to
A A pay for our publication costs.
A A PROPOSED:A $75 dues
A A less $15 to chapters yields $60 to fund the $62.52 publication
estimate
A A - per
A A MS.
A A Our $100,000 reserve would easily fund the $2.52 per year.A
Carrying
A A 853
A A members at $2.52 is $2,149.56 per year.A Divide that into
100,000 means
A A funding covers 46.5 YEARS.
A A OPINION:
A A I do recognize that Mr. Shortt controls the Board by a 5 to
A A 4 vote but there I think that this is a better solution than
what MS
A A has
A A proposed.A Finally, kudos goes to him
A A for at least publishing the actions he intends to take so we
may make
A A positive
A A suggestions for improvement.
