Ok here is a silly question for all of you but if afa is a corporation that doesn't get to pick its bosses then do we get paid like at work? Ok now for a serious question what are the benefits of joining AFA, what do we get for sending are money in just a newsletter. I find that with a little bit of searching on the web i can find much more information than any newsletter can print. There aren't any AFA shows in my area so how can the AFA benefit me and my ferrets. Now I am not knocking AFA at all they do a lot of good work. If there isn't any benefit and i get no voice in the issues and how things are handled (even a small voice) why would I join. According to Bill the AFA doesn't get involved in politics so what benefits would I obtain by being a member of this organization? I hope some of you AFA members can help me out here I would like more info please. FERRETMAN [Posted in FML issue 2272]
