I think that offering these items at events is a definite plus. I applaud Karen and Dorothy for making this possible and suggest that this continue. However, I also think that the other 800 members might also like to purchase a pin or t-shirt. I suggest that the stock be divided so that some can continue to be offered at events (if DOrothy or Karen wish to continue this tradition), but other items can be provided mail order. I know that we might be out of certain sizes, and all that must be considered before any are divided. I think that the design is good enough to reprint or we can always have another design if new artwork becomes available... hint, hint <g> At 02:22 PM 11/28/1999 -0500, you wrote: >At 07:42 AM 11/29/99 -0500, you wrote: >>Hi All, >> >> I don't have any problem with the idea but would like to hear from more >>of the MC before deciding. > >We have never before given the MC body a say in new members.
