<DIV>Troy - you mention over 1100 a "few years ago", and now, approx. 600.
Is there a public number maybe Maureen could share? Curious - what exactly
HAVE the paid member counts been for the past 4 years ????</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And does anyone KNOW if a decreased membership in NSRCA has ALSO resulted
in lower contest attendance? From what I hear/read, the average attendance
is relatively unchanged, isn't that right? So maybe we have just lost
members in the NSRCA and NOT "lost" Pattern fliers?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Any speculation on these points/questions?</DIV>

<DIV>I think that it was mid-July the one that was circulated at the NATS....I
can't be for sure....there may have been one after that....I don't think it
was the July issue I think is was called the June issue.....but that's the
last one I have seen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't always get them...I guess my mailman sucks...Seems to be the
typical answer. I think this year of 2002 I have received 3 or 4 KFs. I know
there have been more issues at least (6). I usually just borrow a buddies. I
would check and see what the last one was but they seem to be in high demand
out here in Colorado so I use it as a marketing tool....When I'm done I just
pass it along. The hope is eventually the guy that ends up with it who ever he
is might join up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The guys will get something going. Heck dues are coming up in December
and I would hate to see the numbers if there is no KF...Right now I think we
are standing at about 600+ and just a few years ago we were well over
1100+.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Its a serious concern for those of us that have been involved and
the people that are still involved. Not to mention the advertising exposure
that the main supports are counting on....There are just a few companies that
have advertised in Every single KF and continue to do so. no matter what the
delivery schedule and no matter what the quality of the publication. These are
the guys and companies that have sustained the KF your dues are not enough
period..the Advertising dollars these guys like Central, Radio South, and
others...I don't want to leave any off but I know these 2 have never missed an
addition in the last save 5-6 years+.......these dollars have made the KF
possible so send them some business. </DIV>
