Raise the dues to $45 and see what happens. It's called "economics".
Every young freshman in Business College knows about the "Cost v.s.
Quantity" charts. Eight dollars dosen't mean much to you or me, but to the
large number of inactive members that we used to have, that supported us with
their dues, it meant they no longer saw the need to rejoin, and didn't.
Further, we have some on this list (I'll leave unnamed) who haven't renewed in
some time, because they just can't justify $38 to recieve a monthly contest
report.<br>

A lot of folks would drive cross town to buy gas at the station that charges a
couple cents less per gallon of gas, rather than go down to their corner
station. <br>
<br>
Every dollar we could save the members, is well worth saving. <br>
<br>
Tom, as you know, I have mentioned this to the board a couple times, in a
couple different formats, so now may be the time to mention it to the general
membership: <br>
<br>
I started an experiment in D3 contests, by requesting a 5$ rebate on contest
entry fees to all NSRCA members. Non-NSRCA members pay full price. <br>
<br>
So far, it seems like it has worked in about one out of three contests.
Basically it requires buy-in by the CD's, therefore I urge the CD's to consider
this simple way of managing your contests. In D3, I am hoping for more CD
participation in 2003, as the word spreads.<br>
