I have been caving since Friday morning. I just logged on and I read

Back in 2004, we voted to reduce the TSS dues to $15 from $20 for single
memberships as the Texas Caver was not regularly being published. It has
since
been raised back to $20.

Mark,
Most associations of this type rarely have the necessary funds to meet
obligations and to implement goals. I would resist the idea of any
reductions in the cost of membership and would endorse an increase. The
annual membership cost is too low for the benefits

You would just have the option of receiving it electronically, instead
of in paper, at a reduced price.

All good points Mark, but emailing a large PDF isn't good, instead, have a
