Hi Neil Your message makes a lot of sense along as it is not PERMANENTLY giving up the idea of having our own. I don't think PAM will meet our needs but it will probably be better communication than we have now. Would it mean an increase in dues? Something to be considered although a raise is probably due. Could we get all our news on 2 pages. I think so so maybe that is a good idea for the present. I still sing your praises for setting up TAG and doing for as long as you did. Can someone do it as well? It seems not so we have to turn to an alternative. As long as we always have the thought that one day we may be able to publish our own again I would go along with that.
