We now have a "Professional" publisher. He will cost us a little more, but he says he can save us money in the long run, because of his expertise in the business. He has the next issue of the K-Factor almost complete and plans to mail it by next week end. In the meantime, Brian has gotten his last issue in the mail and all of you should be receiving it soon.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=330335522-02112002></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=330335522-02112002>Back to the dues issue. There are two ways to keep the dues within reason; one - cut costs and over head, or two - cut services. Almost all of the workers and officers recieve no compensation for their efforts, therefore we can't cut there. However, the next time you see the annual printed budget, examine it closely.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=330335522-02112002></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=330335522-02112002>Tom W. </SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> discussion-request@nsrca.org [mailto:discussion-request@nsrca.org]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Wade & Barbara Akle<BR><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, November 02, 2002 9:03 AM<BR><B>To:</B> Discussion rc NSRCA<BR><B>Subject:</B> K-Factor Status<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV>I had a couple of email communications off-line re the K status.
