This is a copy of an email I sent to Allen Jewell. I wonder if it applies to anyone else here or am I out in left field.

I just read your introduction in the Sept/Oct issue and you were asking for ideas to maintain and increase membership. I just received my blue renewal reminder in the mail, actually the second one. I have posted on the Facebook site as well have sent emails with no response. I haven't written a cheque in years and in fact don't have any as I am sure this is the case with a lot of people today. I wanted to renew my membership on-line using my VISA card but that doesn't seem to be an option. I don't know how to renew my membership so you may loose another one. This might be the case with many other members. If you have to jump through hoops to renew, it just may not be worth it. On the other hand, it is so easy and convenient in today's world to just order on-line using a card. Look at the success of Amazon. I tried earlier to contact Susie Willis to try and pay over the phone but no success at reaching her. How many times will I have to try and besides should she sit at home all day taking peoples info over the phone. Give me a viable solution and lets get this organization into the 21st century.
