Yeah... I agree, Nick.  
I also think
some people have a point.  I'd like to
see a breakdown of fees and expenses.
For instance, if it is the printing
price of Endurance News and if they
are not increasing the non-member 
subscription rate and if that's only
$25.00 then yes, I think there is a
question here.  If this can be done
by increasing non-AERC rates at rides
(or by just collecting them) then
that's another option.  Ride entry
fees are expensive, but then horses
are too.  I think that not renewing
and not telling the AERC why is not
a good answer.  
So, what are some
other suggestions out there?
