I'm not around to see all the issues you speak of, referring to the club board post. Only thing I would address is the declining membership. I understand some decline is from monetary or health issues and some have passed away (some friends I still miss and think about). To those like me who have been just been inactive or lost interest, the membership fees are so small per year it is worth paying them and keeping membership up. Its a small price to pay for all of the good times I've had and friends I have made in this club. IMO anyway (And I am guilty of not keeping up with my friends here, sorry!)

BTW, I still lurk here
