Initially, yes. Ultimately, not so much.

I anticipated some losses of "regular" AGA members. SFBAAPS, for example, 
has 11 people that are AGA members. But they are talking about having the 
club purchase memberships for all of their members, which would be an 
*additional* 40 members for us. Plus, now we have a tie to their club, and 
if they grow, we grow. If they ever bow out, we have their mailing list to 
solicit ther members "back into the fold."

As above, and I was also hoping to eventually expand to foreign clubs. This 
could be quite cost-effective for them.

Can't do that. :-)
