We continuously try to keep a cap on expenses despite the fact that those expenses that we have been absorbing for years continue to escalate with each new year... even more often in some cases. I don't pretend to speak for the Board of Directors nor especially for our treasurer Allan Swanson and CFO Mike McKinney but we are all very aware of where and how your money is spent. Such suggestions, even seemingly worthy ones like this suggestion of Allen's will warrant considerable discussion by the BOD and nobody can predict the outcome of such a discussion at this point. Our Annual Membership fee is a true bargain and the last thing we want to do is to raise it because there is a large silent core of members who are not connected to the internet and have no idea these discussions are going on... and despite all the positive responses here on the forum - there are probably a great number of 'silent' members who may not be in agreement. Your BOD has to be ever watchful of expenses bucause we owe it to ALL members.
