Re: Newsletter is going electronic, What are your thoughts
The auction was a big part of the newsletter, and provided lots of good content, pictures and information. I do not see how we can do it as a club though, as noted in the discussions, there is lots of work and based on $4.18 per hour is is low paid when you keep the proceeds, even lower paid if you are doing it 'for the club". I would like to see an auction be continued, but think it has to be a private concern, done by someone who is able to do the hard work, and hoping to benefit by that work. I appreciate the work that Carl and Mary do and have done, with the auction. also they have sent numerous other articles for CGN that are much appreciated. As both a buyer and seller I have gained from the auction many times. As Brent noted, if it was easy way to sell your glasses and made a lot of money people would be doing it, but probably Ebay and other sites have made it so easy to just pay the commission and use the Ebay method. That is why we have only one glasses auction now, and it is done by a real committed couple who cannot do it past their stated closing deadline. Losing the auction would hurt the club, but not kill the club in my opinion. Messing up the newsletter would have a worse impact, because lots of people who do not go to meetings, see the newsletter as their main benefit, along with club glasses.
