I agree with StirCrazy.
As much as I would love to become a member (with dues etc...) it is way too costly for us to come over to the Mainland. Think of it this way: Rachel (Sea Gnome) had an Island Meeting. How many Mainlanders went? How many contacted her about coming over? None. It is easy for you to say, "come on over, the speaker is the best," but you don't have come over here to do it. I would only go to the ones with a speaker and the occasional other one.
But please don't get me wrong: I think it is a fantastic idea and if I could convince my husband to move over (Not!), I would be almost first in line.
