Re: [AGA SC] Membership Drive and Robert H

Quarter page ads are hard to work with, but half page is no problem.  What
about, 1/2 page ad for the first hundred, and give him a real enticement of
a full page ad in two issues of our choosing within a one year period if he
can actually pull in 200 new members.  I'd be willing to give that same
incentive to any commercial entity actually.  If we get that many more
members, we can afford to add pages from time to time to make up for more
ads!
