I'm one of the original members and feel much the same as Loretta. In fact because of tech problems it took me three tries to join and it finally worked in either March or April then in May it was opened up for free. And I didn't even get a tshirt. Before I pay again I want to see exactly what you have planned for the people who have joined for free and will now complain because it will cost again.
I would love to see the membership as paid and I would love to see all 600 people join in on that because then I feel you will be able to offer a lot more to your members.

But I seems that what I paid for others got for free. I know there was some sort of compensation tied to going to the convention ??? but I don't know really what that was and if it really compensated those original members. Which was about 70 members now there are 600. In fact I would have paid that membership fee each year as an annual due. In opening it up for free my paid membership was diminished. I feel the overall goal for joining the association has been lost with it being opened for free membership. What was to be an association as an exclusive organization where people shared a vision became simply on online directory service. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Face Painting and Body Art Association."
