I am very sad to say things are not going well with the club I founded 5 months ago. F.A.N.G. has only 6 paid for memberships at this time 2 of which are myself and the vice-president David. I have tried everything I can think of and gotten nowhere. We have fantastic posters all over the place and ran ads in the very beginning. I eventually had a base of 36 plus possible members to work from with many of them saying how wonderful it is and they were definitely joining. Hah! What a joke that has turned out to be. (Sorry if I sound bitter but I guess I am at this point) I have sent out two newsletters so far to everyone free of charge and even ran a special this last time offering the 1st year's membership for $5 off. Our newsletter is very good and getting better all the time. It is worthwhile to have. Now with so few members committing to the cause I have no money to run more ads or do anything we would like to. I soon won't have any money even for postage. I myself cannot support the club on my own when I live off of disability and can't even pay my own bills. This is extremely depressing for me and I just don't know what to do. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? If you have ideas on what I can do to get more people to join please let me know. Otherwise I am giving this venture 6 months (if possible) to get better and if it doesn't then I guess F.A.N.G. will be history. I hate to think of that but have no options at this time.
