Magazine

Hi Jason,

Yes the BoD has decided to try sending the Magazine this way to save on costs, if any members get a damaged magazine please let us know. The BoD has identified annual savings close to $10,000 in mailing and paper quality, we are continuing to find ways of cutting costs without compromising service to the membership.

There may in the near future be an option for members to elect to access the magazine only electronically to save on printing and mailing costs. Further research at BoD level is taking place as to what the membership dues for this might be. there will always be a hard copy magazine available for those who cannot access the website, however the cost of this in the future will be reflected in the dues of those who wish to continue receiving a hard copy. We are now in the 21st Century so are trying to keep up with technology and at the same time meet what our diverse demographic membership want/need.

The NEW BoD is looking for feedback from the membership to ways to save money and to maintain or better still improve service to members.

I can tell you that I'm not impressed by this I paid for first class mail in an envelope and every pair of fingers from acmoc to maryland can leaf through my magazine before I get it I think you should find other ways to save money Jason

I agree! at least put it in a sealed plastic wrap.

I agree, I keep every issue and don't want a messed up cover. I would pay extra for the regular mailer if need be.

I have to agree also, I save my magazines and dont want a messed up copy or any unauthorized fingerings

Some of the farm mags i get have a outside front n back coverfor protection,plus they sell adds on them.dont know if thats cheaper then the envelope.

No wonder it's so hard to find people to serve on the board. No matter WHAT you do, you get bitched at...
