Kaiser members close to me

[Carpenter]

this is all too common and very annoying

certain users of this forum are notorious for this misusage

Good to see that others are noticing this...AND...the non-information responses.  LOOK IT UP YOURSELF, YOU BIG DUMMY...is what some seem to be saying.

WHAT Pool?  WHERE in Mississippi?  I talked with John W-10-25-17.

Vehicle Registry was printed in a kaiser Quarterly.

That was 2003! Fourteen years later I wouldn't rely on it.

I have been a member..plan on rejoining, but thought I would get more help than...JOIN.

Most any sort of club, car, gun, poker, etc doesn't just hand over their membership list to anyone that asks for it. People that want to be found by other like minded people join clubs & register their contact info. The Bulletin Editor already pointed out this info comes as one of the perks of joining. It's a modest fee.

There are times when a request like mine is answered and is an encouragement to JOIN, but negative responses can turn a prospective member away from membership.

My response was just stating facts.

It's entirely your choice to decide whether or not club perks & membership info is worth about the price of a hubcap.

Hey Carpenter,

If you are actually short of funds, I suggest that you start a "go fund me", and you'll probably become a rich man.

And, re-join the KFOCI Club.

Anything worth having has a price.

You are playing coy, and I know you are just yanking chains.

So,

Send your money and you'll get a membership without offending all the other "old" dudes like me!!

You are not a pan-handler, as my spies have you in their scope, and we want and need you again on our team!

This is just one example of why many have left this club!!

This is just one example of why many have left this club!!

Terry, please clarify what you mean. Is the reason "many have left this club" because 1) non-members are expecting/getting club info for free here, 2) club members are encouraging non-members to join, or 3) club members don't want to share proprietary info for free with non-members?

Here's my 2 cents: if you want club support, you need to support the club. If Forum members (most of whom are not KFOCI members) get free club materials, where's the incentive for anyone to join or renew? And without paid memberships how long do you think the club will survive?

Carpenter, if all you want/need at this time is access to membership information, you can join as an Associate: $5 per year.  Just be aware that level does not receive any club publications (Bulletin, Quarterly, Handbook or Calendar).

K. Thanks.

[Jerry Wilbeck]

To all,
I have spoken with Carpenter recently, discussed his situation, and have a good relationship with him.  I am willing to pay for his membership for this year immediately if you will send me the bill.  Terry, please lighten up, and all will be ok.
Anyone our age should not spike others without first trying to understand the meaning.  Too much PC has nearly destroyed our country, and if HRC had been elected, I would have had another 4 years of despondency.
Have a great day,
Jerry

Jerry, you can use the Membership Application & Renewal Form in the Bulletin (page 5 in the November issue) or the attached form.

Jerry, I enjoyed our phone conversation. You have a super heart..to be paying my fee, and I Thank You.  Hoping to meet you and share more Kaiser stuff.  Again, Thanks.
