By joining the club (better yet both clubs ) you help differ the costs of the publications. RG&JS FOR EXAMPLE. The cost of producing the RG&JS is astronomically more than the price of $55. I spent some time on the JSC of MAFCA assisting the revision. I was flown, and lodged at club expense so I could sit in two 8 to 10 hour meetings. 2-3 times per year for a number of years. I took vacation days to get away from work. i also spent numerous hours at home on reasearch & on typing. Every member did the same. Also, consider the volunteer time in research, secretarial, clerical and many other duties. So, thank you for your contribution. Anyone who gets benifit from the publications of the clubs should also thank you.

This is also why I feel that posting copies of the information should not be done. I, along with other club members have paid for our lunch, don't eat off our plate.
