I think it would be great if the affiliate clubs were involved, BUT, I don't
think all of them are being contacted, or there just haven't been any new
members in our area.

Harry,

        Jim Randall already sends the info to affiliate clubs. But many of
the new members do not have an affiliate club near them. Jim also has been
putting new members names in the BNL as well. But your idea of having new
members paired up with someone like this is exactly what I am talking about.

Thanks, Lonny
