Barbara, that is why we are starting to do it in our SDC chapter. With a smaller base, our reproduction costs are higher, and mailing costs are higher in Canada anyway. The difference is even more substantial for us. We are being pro-active about both membership base and possible declining revenues somewhere along the line. Actually, we are financially VERY healthy and growing, as is our membership---albeit very slowly for both. We have been able with these additional savings to (help) pay for some club activities, like a summer picnic/BBQ, or subsidize some items a bit--and the annual membership fee has remained at $20/year since we started up in 1996.
