Re: [AGA SC] Membership Drive and Robert H

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I understand but am suggesting we go farther. I don't think
it's a problem that they'd all want one because there's a
practical limit on how many anyone (and everyone) can bring
in during a given period. That's our safety valve.

But if *anyone* brings in a $1,000 worth of *new* members,
I wouldn't have a problem giving them 1/4 page in TAG. I
doubt that more than one person/club/vendor would/could
bring in 50 or *more* members within the next, say six
months or year. But, Oh halleluiah if more than one did.
:-)
