Mike I am going to take that your statements are aim at me.So in response heres what I am going to say.First strong arm is not a my intentions I dont think I can strong arm someone into joining.But 20.00 is not asking to much for what you get as a member here I am just trying to help!!If you cant afford it than you can afford it.When 20.00 is making or breaking I cant have hobbies at all but thats me!Wolf and everyone else has tried to reason how and why to spend 20.00 but strong arming is not me.

Just when I thought you could get no lower on this thread.

2.6 Million jobs lost last year!
3.6 Million jobs lost in the last 13 months!
Over 2 million jobs lost in the first quarter of this year!

People with homes, people with families, people with education. Teachers, MBA's, Engineers, Sales, etc.

Jimmie you just don't get what is important and even though I support the change as necessary we still must support those who are struggling to eat, not just play. Arrogance because you have a little disposable income to place yourself unrealistically above those who require compassion and support in times like these are a clear testamonial of your true character brother. You have none.

Donate your membership to someone who would at least be grateful enough to follow the mission statement.

Asinine!

That's how you are coming off! Go back a re-read your post as compared to what people are trying to say. It is a description of your behavior and I am sorry if I offended you but I stand by what I said.

Easy guys, in the end I think we all want the hobby to grow. Lets keep that in mind.

... in this economy. It's been surprising just how hard it is just to keep the lights on and gas in the car. But this isn't about the money, its about supporting the MFCA. Like any league dues show your commitment. Most leagues probably care less about the money, they just want you to play. The MFCA is no different. If you want to play, join us in supporting the hobby pick up the phone or sent an e-mail the Lynn or VP Will Travers, I am sure the MFCA can help with any coach who has financial issues and I believe that's been expressed many times and in many different posts.

I would hope that any coach who still plays or collects or paints figures or even the casual observers would find benefits to membership and want to join the MFCA.

Maybe we can come up with some type of rewards program for membership. Maybe there is some tangible way to gain membership without having to go green. Maybe more brainstorming is needed in these troubling times. Perhaps a charity auction for coaches in need, not greed or looking to just get a handout. There are people with real issues who love this hobby and I was raised to not kick people when they are down. If we are a family we must find a way to pay it forward as those who are down will get back up. At least they will know who was there with them in the troubled waters. Just my thoughts.
