SCA membership

[dsrtao]

My membership in the SCA expires this summer. I'm thinking about not renewing it.

The cons: I would not be allowed to be an officer, including running events. Each event I attended would be $3 more expensive.

The pros: I would make SCA, Inc., a tiny bit unhappy.

Just a specific note: while the Corp doesn't care in the individual, it does in the aggregate. The SCA, Inc is losing money -- at the moment, a *lot* of money. They're not panicking yet (a nice change of pace), but it would be accurate to say that they are Deeply Concerned, especially about the fact that membership numbers are steadily dropping. They're casting about for solutions at the moment.

My only real comment to DSR, therefore, is that *if* he were to decide not to re-up, it should be accompanied by a polite note to the Board about why. At the moment, it's way too easy for them to speculate arbitrarily about the cause of the trend -- some actual information, even if anecdotal, would provide a little more reality...
