I think the LHSA could be doing a better job on marketing/promoting for new members. The LUG could be a vehicle for LHSA news and happenings. For example, at the recent Spring LHSA Shoot in Baltimore not a single word was posted in advance which could have attracted many LUGers from Philadelphia to Washington, DC. And what about the gatherings that are organized by LUG individuals, ie, NYC LUG meeting, the LUG meeting I organized in January in Washington, DC, the LUG meeting every month that Kyle organizes in Philadelphia, the regular calls for a LUG meeting in Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Seems like missed oportunities. Why couldn't the LHSA start chapters in Boston, NYC, Mid-Atlantic, Los Angeles, etc, etc. I am sure that would generate new members if there were regular events scheduled. Camera technical sessions, shoot sessions, guest speakers, and so on. Have been a member for four years but have not made the annual conference yet, will try to make Portland this year. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
