Works for me I like the math, but then we have to double the cost of printing and sending Reviews. We have to send notices and mailing of the ballots to twice the people at twice the cost. We have to pay more for gifts at the National, and increase any costs to the members. Also, it seems to me that no one will join because it cost $3.00 a month less, and no one will not joint if they have to pay $3.00 a month more. I agree that anything that increases the membership is good, but not alway a good thing. If we get in 100 more Albanians, I don't see the value. Numbers only count when you want to finish a championship.
