WAS - KFactor Now "Members"

[GeorgeF.]

I think both Tom and Gene are correct.  Increase in dues combined with a 
decrease in benifits as well as politics.    I know of a few District 1 
members who dropped both their NSRCA memberships and quit flying pattern 
all together simply because of politics....  One was a 10+ dedicated 
pattern pilot who would eat, drink and sleep pattern....

I must have missed something over the summer.  In spring I kept hearing 
that the NSRCA leadership had great ideas to increase NSRCA 
membership.   Over the summer I wasn't on this list, now I come back and 
now I don't hear anything from our leadership and it appears (remember our 
word of the day "perception") that the NSRCA has been derailed.....
