~~~ at 50% of the membership that we were during our hayday; after running shop for 35-years.
We have read club officials boast that our online club newsletter has 2000 subs... twice the number of paid membership. That's like hanging a "Free Donut" sign and nobody buys day after day (lack of salemansnip?)... and we're to stand up and cheer?
I once suggested we need to "get the show (displays) on the road" and, we did, except it's only in Las Veyas, and no other gaming jurisdictions.
I suggested "we need to be part of social media" and, we did. Good job.
I keep screaming that we need to get back into the arena so many of us came from and helped us grow and, when membership is asked to help host our club table, they are nowhere to be found...( Why?)
We saw with our own eyes that we had exrea convention programs to give away AFTER the convention and i asked if we distributed any of then to hobby related clubs and other groups... No response... (Does that mean no?)
About the size of our club: Our hobby used to be part of our club. Today, our club is a small part of a huge hobby.... I suggested that at this year's convention we reach out to the other segments of our hobby to invite them to exhibit what they so much love doing on PCF... (Did it happen?)
There should not be a day that passes that we do not search for a recovery remedy so that maybe we can grow to a portion we once were....
