Andy, 
   Regarding membership, I would much rather see a hundred active members than 500 that do little or nothing. (I realize our numbers far exceed that).I think the first thing that strikes me is that with membership in the thousands, there are what I would say is less than a hundred active members on the web site. This is such an easy thing to take part in and participation makes it fun for all (and you may even learn something new in the process!) How might other members be encouraged to make greater use of the web site?
   As a member who is located pretty far east of the heart of the HPOCA, it would seem to me I am located pretty far away from the club to be an effective member. That being said, I am certainly willing to pitch in and take an active part wherever I might, but I sit here scratching my head trying to imagine what I might do. As an officer I would think it might benefit the club for one to offer up projects, tasks,etc. that will advance the welfare of the club.
    (I'll get off the soapbox now)
   In parting, I have been asssociated with various organizations and have always found that it is the serious dedication of a few that make the organization tick... not the collective.
