O.k. Bill, i don't know if you will post this one or not, but here goes... After reading Kelleen's post about the poor turn-out for her club, i thought i might ask all the "Southern Ontario" folks on this list, why they haven't joined the SOFA (Southern Ontario Ferret Association). i mean, i realize they are certainly under no obligation to do so, but the turn-out for our club has been just as depressing as the turn-out for FANG. i really don't know why...and would honestly like to know, so that maybe i could make some changes. Maybe it is the membership fee? The $20 does by no means cover all the expenses we incur, but maybe i could make the newsletter less fancy and have it totally in B&W to get the cost down. Would you guys join if it was $15, or $10? This club welcomes people from all across Ontario, so having only 5 members, so far, is pretty sad!!! What's up, guys???!!! Please let me know. Without more people, a ferret frolic becomes a mere "ferret greeting", and contests are pretty un-exciting...gee, i wonder who will win? Well, you've got a one in five chance!!! ugh. Thanks, Norma-ann President and Co-Founder of the SOFA (with members from St.Catherines to Ottawa...with one more in between!!) ;-) [Posted in FML issue 1490]
