<DIV>After reading some of the other replies to the stamp idea I am left with
issues that may suggest that more information about the AMA income and budget is
required to get to the actual cause of the red ink.</DIV>
<DIV>My idea was that only Nat's contestants would be required to pay for the
stamp.</DIV>
<DIV>After some of the other input it seems that several SIG groups are
carrying the load for Nat's cost and that's OK with me as long as our individual
extra contributions are matched by other competitors and results in
preserving the existence of some of the old time original events which would
ultimately disappear without our help, but only if there was enough
interest and participation to warrant their inclusion as a Nat's event
by, as Tony stated requiring a minimum number of entries.</DIV>
<DIV>Like someone else said it would be interesting to know in detail where all
the money comes from and where it goes, It's only right for that information to
be made available to any member who request's it.</DIV>
<DIV>If it is not available then we should be made aware of why
it isn't and based on that answer we may begin to question the
capability of the organization and their intent and or ability to
control the organization and preserve the intention for which it was founded
in the best interest. of the membership.</DIV>
