How do we reach THESE people? With someone like this lady, I think an approach like "oh, we could sure use your knowledge and expertise in our club" and let them know that they have something very valuable to share with the rest of us as well as offering the comraderie of the other club members. If you could get her involved with the local club, maybe joining the PC would follow. Find out what her objections to joining are, and then talk her out of them. <BG> Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
