[MLB-WIRELESS] Proceedings at next meeting.

[dean]

That's why god invented the internet, there is no reason for any 'bulk mailouts' that you are describing. I agree there should be a
membership fee- and I'm happy to contribute BUT the day you do a mailout is the day I resign from your association.

Cheers,

Dean

As the model rules stand, we may from time to time have to mail out things
to members etc. now say we have 200 members, this means we may have to
purchase 200 stamps, 200 envelopes etc....

That works out to be around $90 in stamps only. Then there's costs with
envelopes etc. We came to the decision that one person shouldn't have to pay
for them out of their own pocket - as it's a general working function of the
Association - which is for benefit of all members - not one or two
individuals.

Bottom line is we don't want one or two people to be out of pocket so the
association can run as defined by the model rules.

Signed,
Steven Haigh
President - Melbourne Wireless
