[Healeys] FREE Healey Marque Magazine Subscription for 2020

[Bob Spidell]

I don't think Reid, et al, are that nefarious.  Years ago, when Reid was 
a principal--Membership Director, IIRC--at AHCUSA we had a promo where 
we'd send a free copy of the mag to potential members.  I did the work 
for a couple years--it was kind of a PITA because I packaged and mailed 
each hardcopy separately--and it was only an attempt to expand our 
membership (I don't think it was particularly successful).

We always maintained it was advantageous for owners to be members of 
both major clubs for, what, about $100/year (i.e. the cost of a typical 
order to Tom's, Moss, etc.)?
