The cover is supposed to be protecting the contents.

While not wanting to increase the dues, the Board of Directors were left with few choices and<br> this was one of the least painful. When one looks at the cost of membership in most other areas of life from golfing to attending events etc. the membership dues in any car clubs is extremely reasonable.<br></p><div><br></div><p>I personally believe that membership in any Club where a magazine is published, being monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly should start at around $110.00 a year given what is delivered to the members. With $45.00 dues, the Board has to sometimes make difficult<br> decisions that affect the delivery of their services. <br></p><p><br></p><p>Jean Caron</p><p>Historian AHCUSA<br></p><br><div><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" data-mce-style="color: #000000;"><hr style="display:inline-block; width:98%" data-mce-style="display: inline-block; width: 98%;"><div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"><span data-mce-style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;" style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><b>From:</b> Healeys <healeys-bounces@autox.team.net> on behalf of Tim Davis BN7 <tld6008@mchsi.com><br><b>Sent:</b> April 12, 2017 12:34 AM<br><b>To:</b> Healeys<br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Austin Healey magazine</span><div> </div></div><div><div>Anyone else think the latest issue is printed on rice paper?<br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br></div>Tim Davis BN7</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
