So, if you have a buddy that didn't get the latest newsletter, strongly encourage that person to update his or her LSF record before January 5th. Two years ago, LSF members were informed that electronic communication would be the major communication method used to impart information to the membership. The Forum on the website was a major component of that strategy. The LSF leadership also uses, when appropriate, both RC Groups and RCSE in an effort to get information to as broad a spectrum as possible. Paper, preparation, and postal costs are simply too expensive for mass communication. Now that the newsletter is on its way I fully intend to enjoy Christmas and New Years.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Jim Deck LSF President
Just "informing the membership" of a change of communication method
means nothing
with regard to amending the bylaws. The communication requirements are defined in the bylaws. Yes, it will be a lot of work and the postage will be expensive especially the postage to members outside the USA but anything less will be invalid. Maybe that's why LSF has been relatively unchanged for 40 years.
