...<G> I was under the impression that being a
member of our club had certain benefits concerning
our magazine. One being able to receive it Third
Class at no additional cost, and the other being
permitted to advertise under the published rules.

My thinking is if we were to allow non-members to
advertise (say non-club members who are chapter
members), why would they even be interested in
joining the club if they're able to receive benefits
aforded club members?

Are we strictly interested in advertiser's money,
John, or are we also interested in building a
bigger and better club via membership? Then, on top of all this thinking you ask if their are any thoughts in making all magazines First Class delivery.... and you don't understand where I'm coming from? <g> Where is this green going to come from? Would the majority of membership want to see a dues increase as some asked because of this added expense?

Just some questions to consider, I would think. No?
