Dave, while I'm sure your organization makes perfect sense to you,
where on the site doesa it say, "For membership problems, contact
LeeAnn? Or for magazine problems contact Rob? Etc.

Dave, the "Business" designation indicates to me that that is the area
to look at if I want to buy advertising from one of the magazines or
something. The biographies are nice, but none of them gives any
indication of what involvement the appropriate person has in the
organization.

My suggestion is to make the website a bit more informative. Members,
and particularly prospective members, aren't going to know intuitively
that LeeAnn is the person to contact regarding memberships. Many of us
could give a hoot less who the personalities are. I've avoided
membership because I had no interest in the politics- I get enough of
that crap in the SCA. Just give me a hammer, and leave me alone ;-)

Don't like getting old? Beats the Hel out of the alternative.

The purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave, a beautiful corpse,
pretty and well-preserved, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly used
up, totally worn out, proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!"
