<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial>After reviewing
the cost of the K-FACTOR and the income of NSRCA at our November board meeting
the NSRCA Board voted to the Membership dues from $30.00 to $40.00 per
year. The Advertisers and NSRCA Membership dues have been carrying the cost of
the K-FACTOR over the years. Our Membership dropped and is now slowly coming
back, Advertising has gone down, and the publishing costs of the K-FACTOR have
increased. These are the main reasons behind the need for a dues increase, and
if you will think back, we have not had an increase in dues for over 8
years.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial>This is my last
Presidents report. I want to thank the Membership, Officers and DVP’s for their
support over the past two years. We have made a lot of progress together, and
some of my goals are still to be completed as I indicated in <FONT
face=Arial>the November K-Factor. Now it is time for the new Officers to review
our past progress and “things left to do”, and set their own goals to continue
to take NSRCA forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know you
will give them the same strong support that you gave to me. I have ask Derek to
start changing thing over because I am setting here everyday waiting on
the doctor to call me to be admitted to the hospital for two more back surgeries
they plan on cutting the nerves th</FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial>is time. They
will do my left leg and left lower back the first and if they do
everything right and I can walk within two they will go in and do my right side
but fear not if I can not my walk I can still fly from a wheel chair right
