Hello,

Don not use the word "sell", it will raise the hackles of copyright sentries. A voluntary "donation", that is turned over to Nafex is much more appropriate.

You never know, people may donate much more than than they would pay.

Later,
Tom

We do not have to bring before the Board voluntary contributions by members.
I am not talking about raising dues. Also, if I create a CD with back issues
of POMONA and wish to sell that CD to Members and then give the money to
NAFEX, I do not need the Boards approval.

Bruce, I know it is hard to patient with the process here, but we still have
to bring these issues formally to the board and the rest of NAFEX. It may
take another year before the involvement we have all been formulating comes
to pass. We all have families, jobs, other distractions like getting the
harvest in before freeze up etc. I think we will all see the fruit of these
fertile discussions but not with two weeks. As a nursery type person, folks
are only now formulating their plantings next year and past Christmas you
will start getting requests. Also, please put your auction idea into Pomona
and that will bring a lot more responses. We have to follow the slow
sometimes laborious and tedious process of incorporating as many ideas as
possible, and recruiting a broad base of support. I lot of people I know
barely read their list-serve weekly, and then only skimming for important
stuff. It is time for us all to start working on our letters, and helping
others to round out theirs. Badgering folks is only going to push them away.
I know, I have done it. This time we need inclusion, patience, and to be in
it for the long haul. I really appreciate your desire for change, and your
forcefulness can push us out of ruts, but we risk the consequences of
sabotaging efforts by blasting folks with too strong a message. Truly with
respect, Heron On Wed Oct 27 7:55 , 'Bruce Hansen'

Perhaps we are lucky that most of you won't write letters for POMONA. Why
expose the rest of the membership, who find using computers demeaning, to
selfish and self centered attitudes. > >-----Original Message----- >From:
