Subject: RE: [Leica] LHSA Meeting

Being the editor of a "cheap newsletter from the 60's" myself, I can 
understand that what is achieved by the LHSA (and their society) through 
using volunteer effort rather than professional, is incredible in 
comparison to the many other societies I've been in. I think they deserve 
encouragement and assistance in trying to change things, if people want 
things changed.

I would not like to suggest:
	Raising subscriptions to double or treble their present rate in order to 
pay for the professional staff required to run the society.

I would like to suggest:

     .An improved Viewfinder, move from quarterly to bi-monthly and accept
advertising.
    .Get a second-class mail permit for Viewfinder.
    .Hire a art director for Viewfinder. Graphically it looks like a cheap
newsletter from the '60's.
    .Get rid of that dumb catalog and put the ads in Viewfinder.
    A much better website with regular updates.
    .Have a forumn for member feedback.
    .Figure a way to get rid of that ol' boy image.
    .Hold the Annual Meeting downtown.
    .Have regional meetings.
