RJR posted:.................. But, if a significant percentage of TCA members express a lack of interest in the Quarterly, then TCA ought to consider how it can reduce publications and postage costs by providing a vehicle to unsubscribe, or make it on-line with hard copy only to those who request same. TCA should welcome such observations, rather than consider them as an attack.
So I haven't seen this brought up yet, but others who may remember, please check my memory.
I seem to recall over the years, there used to be some sort of a "check box" when you filled out your membership renewal that would limit (eliminate) the paper mailings. My understanding was that it was meant to be a way for families with multiple memberships to stop from getting 2 or more copies of each item at their house. (multiple memberships were perhaps much more common when every single table at York needed a membership # to go with it, no booths for dealers, extra tables, etc - that actually probably took a big toll on membership roster years ago when it changed).
I seem to recall it being posted in big bold letters that checking this box would halt your publications. It would certainly seem that you could check this box to stop receiving publications, since the warning was there to not do it if you did still want the publications.
Is my memory that messed up, or does anyone else remember it? (again, may still be there, but since I mail my renewal in, I have no way to go back and look it up).
If this is still there, it's amazing that the option to save the TCA money on postage and paper has been there all along and no one seems to realize it.
