<< Hi Hunter, 
 I just received the lastest Blue Beret.  Isn't it curious that our WBCCI 
International
 President feels it is time for WBCCI to be more "pro-active in its 
recruitment of new Aristream
 owners"?? So, "beginning July 1, 2001 the owners of a new A/S will be 
enrolled as Members at Large". >>

I think it's a step in the right direction... the WBCCI has not been 
proactive at all and as their members die off they are not being replaced.

<What about those of us who find that dream stream that has
 been "pre-owned"? And what about the people who spend
 all that money, as in Jack's case, 6 weeks too soon? >

Well, it has to start somewhere. I don't see a problem not making the freebie 
retroactive. It's not like it costs a fortune to join. It costs about the 
price of a tank of gas. If they give everyone a free membership they would 
have no money.

 <IMHO, I don't think President Lundberg has found a very good solution to a 
sad situation.>

I don't really think it is a solution..... not enough new trailers are sold 
to make that big of a dent... but I do see it as an acknowledgement of the 
fact that there is a problem and they are finally trying to do something 
about it.  It's a nice gesture and hopefully the people who get the free 
membership will then re-up the next year. Until now, nothing has been done to 
try to recruit new members except give free memberships when attending some 
rallies.

 <Thanks for letting me vent>

Sure.

<< PS How bad is your cabin fever getting? >>

It isn't so far. I've  been so busy I haven't had time to get cabin fever. As 
long as I can stay busy I won't get bored and want to take off.

Thanks for asking.
