Re: [AGA-mcm] workloads? workers?

["Phil Edwards" <biotypical@hotmail.com>]

Something I forgot to put in my last email.  Carlos Sanchez and I were 
talking a week or so ago and he said he wasn't going to be renewing his AGA 
membership.  Now that Barr and Hudson have their Pay-per-View online mags 
TAG is getting expensive for the amount of content.

I told him [nicely] to write articles if he wanted more content.


His main reason though, was he didn't feel welcomed.  After doing all the 
work promoting the aquascaping contest he felt snubbed and unwelcome by 
folks he didn't name.  He was very willing to take on more responsibilities, 
but he got the impression that we didn't want him.  I think there were 
personality problems with Carlos, but others who had done work with the AGA 
on various projects and conventions agreed.  He also said (and was supported 
by others) that the AGA management is basically out of touch and only 
interested in doing their own thing.  Scott was even described as "Stodgy", 
a word I hadn't heard since I read Dickens in HS.  I think we have an active 
and willing younger crowd out there that needs to be tapped or we'll have a 
lot of one-time memberships.

Are there any easy to do volunteer type jobs that we could outsource to 
members?

Best,
Phil
