The AOMCI Council voted to not produce a calendar this year due to cost restraints. Our prime publication is the Antique Outboarder magazine. A number of years ago we voted to provide a calendar as an extra benefit, but with recent cost increases we cannot at present provide the calendar. If you read my Helm Message in the January issue you will understand. The January issue was mailed using what is termed a “self-mailer” by the printer, which should be a heavier (thicker) cover page, and the address printed on the reverse side. There have been numerous issues in the handling by the USPS and we will have to go back to a protective covering as previous. The self-mailer was tried as a cost saving item, but we are disappointed. The self-mailer was going to save us approximately $6,000 per year if it worked.

This was a well-intentioned idea that just didn’t work out. We all have them. I’m sure there will be other cost saving ideas out of necessity.
Our volunteers are in a tough spot right now. I’d like to thank the Executive Council for making the difficult, but necessary decisions to ensure the future of our club.
