[NSRCA-discussion] What the NSRCA does (and could do) for me

[Del K. Rykert]

    Even with all the ingenious ideas, membership, pattern attendance and 
contests have shrunk the last few years. It would also seem time to trim the 
budget and some line items in the organization.  I would think the majority 
of members would prefer at least a 2 or 3 month notice that a dues increase 
was coming. Was it only decided by the board in December to raise the dues? 
This last minute notification gives some the impression no one is minding 
the store.
    A 25% dues increase is a big jump. This armchair pilot says it is the 
final straw.
