I can't help but think these are harsh words to a fellow striker that is not trying to get out of paying the dues to re-new but just wants an extention till March 3rd and keep their number. Have we forgotten what it is like to be on a limited budget? Maybe if the re-newal reminder card had come in Nov, it could have been factored into the budget. I would think that we would want to keep all the members that we have, not throw them away. I know I am not one of the higher ups but as a member I just wanted to state my thoughts on this. Jamie--if there cannot be an extention--I will gladly loan you the fee. Sherry Cole SS# 750
