Carol - We are having the same problemAfter 25 years  our mambers have aged
or died and we have not been able to attract any new members,  We are down
to a half dozen, have eliminated dues and quit publishing a newsletter.  If
you get any good ideas, please share them with us.  By the way, are you
going to COA - if so, I'll see you there
