Kris:  As I understand it, you don't set up a "club account".  What we 
have done several times in the past is called for interested buyers, and 
if we gathered enough orders to meet the minimum requirements, we would 
submit a club order.  One person writes the check, sends in the club 
order and the club info, has the stuff sent to his address, and then 
manages to get the various bits out to the buyers one way or another.

It is a good deal, and I've participated in it in the past.  But it's 
something we probably can't do every year or multiple times a year, due 
to the size of the minimum order.  (Typically, if even one person wants 
an assembled product, the minimum is $1000.)

I don't recall when the last club purchase occurred, but I guess it 
could be time to do it again.  If we aimed for early spring, some of the 
purchases could be passed out at Aurora, and some at NLRS breakfasts, 
and the remainder mailed or sent with friends...
