Nah.....when you have people that belonged to the club, that participated, that contributed, that exhibited, and presently don't because they cant stand the current situation....when they have a comment or a critique, you should at least listen. You may learn something. They need a membership to vote, but they dont need a membership to share their thoughts. Kathaleen, Christine, Steve, Lee, Sally, and others I am missing....come one, these guys don't know what they are talking about? How many members renewed their membership for half the price? I only saw a few (on the Review). Price discount wasn't enough of a motivator for many. Now, that's telling. Happy Sunday everyone, off to ride my horse. * Ileana * Love me, love my dogs.

I enjoy Kathleen more than many people. But, it is interesting that there are so many people that want to use the events of the parent club, or the parent club magazine, but do not want to be part of it. Just paying to be involved does not make you a supporter of the club. Evan L.
