Important update from SSA
So if the XCOM is planning to resign at the conclusion of this, and the
XCOM selects its members, who will be the new members and who will select them? |

Important update from SSA
A very informative message indeed. At least they're keeping us
up-to-date. It seems clear that money has disappeared from the SSA accounts and somewhere near $1/2 million will be needed to pay back taxes and such. If the money can't be found and recovered, there may be no SSA for anyone to resign from!

The message did not address the most pressing issue, which is: am I
going to receive my October Soaring on time? Or at all? Mike the Strike wrote: A very informative message indeed. At least they're keeping us up-to-date.

Even after I knew the contents of the letter, it took me some time to find any hint of the problem on the SSA website. I've reluctantly decided to honor the SSA's decision about how they want to handle distributing this information, but I think it's shortsighted and extremely unfair to new members. The SSA is in trouble and we need all the friends we can get. To gain trust, we need to be as open as possible. The first letter was good start, but it should have been front and center on the web page. The update letter is even better.

The letter and update first arrived here by that means. Highly recommended. The SSA eNews also provides other useful and timely information. Once subscribed, it takes little effort to stay informed.

Important update from SSA
Todd,
I have found the e-new very informative. It is in the members section. http://www.ssa.org/test/members/enew...p?p1=subscribe Wayne HP-14 N990 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/photogallery/Mackay_2006 "T o d d P a t t i s t" wrote in message ...

Now that you've mentioned it, I'll hunt it up and subscribe, but there are bound to be others who've never heard of it. Even if that email hit every member, I'd be opposed to the members-only policy, even if it was simply out of fairness to potential new members and my concern that openness serves us better in the long run. -- T o d d P a t t i s t - "WH" Ventus C (Remove DONTSPAMME from address to email reply.) |

Important update from SSA
Part of the problem is that financial and budget information does seem to be
shared with the members either. I looked on the SSA web site, and I can't find anything. If the latest financial statements and budgets were posted on the web site, even if just for members, someone might have noticed these discrepancies a long time ago.
