NAFEX's mission is definitely educational.  It is clearly spelled out in our 
founding documents & it was a key reason we were granted 501c3 status.

That said, education takes many forms and certainly active plant culture and 
improvement is an essential part of our credentials (as a group) to perform 
this mission.

As far as the hardcopy vs. e-copy...
I can see both sides.  Certainly it is easier to control distribution to 
paying members in hardcopy form.  On the other hand, CRFG offers an e-option. 
 Maybe they have some ideas about how to make that work.  It would make some 
types of information easier to distribute (such as high-def color photos).

Regards,

Anton
Finally getting some rain!
