pattern to remember some of the logistical problems with running the Nats at
different locations around the country. Are you suggesting that those problems
are no longer present? How are those obstacles going to be addressed? The

face="Times New Roman">Let’s see, Membership: I think I hit most things in my
two previous sets of answers. Probably all the standard reasons, with some
“Political” ones also. We have to eliminate those, and concentrate on making
NSRCA provide good, legitimate reasons to join. We will have to work on both
getting new blood, and wooing back those that have left, for reasons we can
resolve. This needs some serious study, and objective evaluation to really
find the realistic, and best path You know the K Factor used to be one of the
largest reasons, and I think some things Tony has done will help, plus getting
it back to better than it was when we used to wait at the mail box, and
complain about it being a day late.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT

Probably Derik is the best source for what the history is. He indicated we had
problems in 1998/1999, and whatever they were, were resolved. Also he
indicated that we were operating at a yearly loss, and essentially living off
our past Bank account. We have to get that fixed. According to Maureen’s
input, we are a non-profit organization, and if
<st1:State><st1:place>Florida</st1:place></st1:State> laws are the same as
<st1:State><st1:place>Alabama</st1:place></st1:State> laws, should not carry
much over from year to year.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
recognize that two of our major resource generators, K-Factor and Membership,
have gone down, and I have addressed how I would work on both those
areas.</FONT></P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
