Just had another thought: in response to receiving the new member application, how about immediately sending a copy of the latest TAG. Nothing like instant gratification! Jack (or a delegated representative of the membership committee) can have a set of TAGs on hand (Mary would print extras and provide him with an appropriate number each printing.) With the one issue sent out, the member would get 3 more to complete their first year. I also forgot to compliment those involved in the solicitation for volunteers. Great response. Now comes the hard part - providing the management oversight :-) Neil PS I think I can now participate more fully in AGA discussions. ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-sc" in the body of the message.
