Thank you Jack!  I'm at the GEnie sysop convention at the moment, but I will
take a couple of minutes here to respond to your allegations.

First, yes we have raised the dues, but you and anyone else can still renew
(or start) your membership at the old rates.  I don't have the complete
details here, so I can relay the facts, but all of you have the opportunity to
save money this year.  Sign up NOW and this rate change doesn't even have to
affect you (depending on how long you want to sign up for).

It is no secret that our membership has been declining, and I think you all
can understand the changes in the cost of doing business. We have added a lot
of value to our magazine and have continually strived to add value to your
membership.  Weither or not you believe this or agree with the changes we have
made, the cost of this does not change.  We needed to raise the rates so that
we are able to continue doing what you have come to expect from us, and to
continue in our quest for adding more value to your FIG membership.  We
understand that this may cause some of you hardship, but please understand
that the need was very real.

On the topic of Chapter Coordinator, we have choosen to leave that position
unfilled at the present time.  Since the subject comes from you Jack, I wonder
if it is prompted by some resentment on your part.  However, our decision has
been made, and we will live by it.

Thanks for asking!   DaR
