You need to put more skin in the game than just your $65. How much time
and effort are you willing to devote to this? What if there was a
"constitutional convention" and nobody came?

Maby the real problem with the SSA is not the minority of dedicated
volunteers who try to make the organization work, it's the majority of
armchair critics live in their own worlds, unburdened by reality.

I do pledge my former dues amount ($65) for a newly formed Soaring
Association. We have had constitutional conventions in this country
before and can do it again. The only requirement is for the current
group--ALL of them down to whoever cleans the office in NM--need to go.

Our former SSA was driven off the cliff over many, many years. Most of
the directors and volunteers names have not changed since I took my
first glider flight in 1979. Those that got us here are not the ones to
make it better.
