~~~ NOT the best place (we need to utilize our club message board more for so many reasons) to discuss what all should be included in a membership recommondation form with some simple questions which otherwise might be overlooked while submitting one's name.

What Jim P. mentioned as a qualification to meet induction is dead wrong (how many books and articles have you written should not determine ones's qualification... nor how many chip shows did you organize.). There are a host of qualifications that can easily be met in both adding in to and building our club and membership and one does not need to be an author to qualify...and, yes, education is an important aspect as to what we do, but there is something else, first, that bonds us as one that most passers-by can easily spot and want to join with us... Such actions are easilly noticed and highly considered in any induction process to consider a vote (voting).
