As I have stated before, the Catalog arrives weeks after it is delivered in the US. By the time I phone quite a few people are annoyed at all the calls they are getting on a item that sold long ago. Not fun. I added the raffle tickets as my name is actually never included in the draw though after they get back from the AGM they still cheerfully dock my card. You will be happy to know that the subscription rate went up. Mine to $60US and yours to $75US. What should they do? Distribute the Catalog by email or offer a membership without the Catalog both at a reduced rate. They will send you the Catalog by email starting next year but NO reduction in membership fees. Please send out the raffle tickets earlier. I know I do not have a hope in H*** of winning but at least give me a sporting chance!! What do I have to do, courier the silly things? I am not that upset really but I do know that many of the LHSA board members are on the list and this way they get to see their policies discussed by the members. A good thing I feel.
