OLIVERFAN, I answered your question.....You asked about what members can do to make it better, the answer is that the members should not have
to make up for poor performance of a magazine editor who is not doing his/her job up to expectations. Just by stating your question, you are admitting that the magazine is below standard. I certainly have nothing against members contributing articles or ideas, but this is not a volunteer job. The magazine side of HPOCA is run as a business, with a contract. The current editors make an income from it, as did Sherry Schaeffer. If we apply your logic to the rest of the world, you would expect some other business that makes a contractual agreement to perform a job to seek volunteers do do their job for them. This makes no sense, as the business makes the money, and the volunteers do the work for them. HPOCA is not just a little friendly group of tractor collectors, it is a business, that produces a product and a service. Yes, it is non profit, but we pay a membership fee which we expect to receive a certain quality of service, or product (in the case of the magazine) in return. I hope this answers the question you raised to your satisfaction.
