Re: Giving AKA away (was Re: Aphyosemion sjoestedti)
Jill makes a good point. Personally, I don't have any problem paying the
dues,
but 15 years ago I sure would have. Does the AKA have any kind of
"scholarship"
program ? I would he happy to add some money to my dues to sponsor a
membership for someone who truly needed it. Maybe there could be a student
rate
or a sponsored discount for people like Jill.
Yes, I know this could be a pain to administer and could result in lower
income for
the AKA, but it might be worth it in the long run.
I'm a very new member to AKA, so I'll shut up and go back to quietly
lurking in the
killietalk shadows.
