Re: Renewing our ad in AFM

[Neil Frank <nfrank@mindspring.com>]

Get rid of sample copy, streamline AFM ad:

*Offering sample copies now has some issues - $3 was reasonable for the non
color copies, but are they considered representative any more? I say not...
so we would have to raise the price and then people wouldnt want them. So I
say drop it.

*$462.00 per year for a paid ad in  AFM is pretty steep. I think we benefit
from publicity in all 3 mags, but I suggest we streamline the wording for
AFM only.

For AFM
AQUATIC GARDENERS ASSOCIATION.  Dues $15 per year (USA, Canada, Mexico),
$28 (other countries).  To join or for more information, contact Jack
O'Leary, 71 Ring Road, Plympton, MA 024367. Website:
www.aquatic-gardeners.org

or BETTER YET:
AQUATIC GARDENERS ASSOCIATION.  For aquatic plant enthusiasts.
www.aquatic-gardeners.org

8 words x 8 = $5.60 or $67 per year!

For TFH and FAMA, 
AQUATIC GARDENERS ASSOCIATION.  Dues $15 per year (USA, Canada, Mexico),
$28 (other countries).  To join or for more information, contact Jack
