There is no such thing as FREE! Someone has to pay for anything someone else gets without paying. Dues are collected to fund the expenses of AOMCI and each chapter. At a minimum, AOMCI should limit non paying public access. We need to plug the leaks, bail out the bilge water, and enhance the value of being a dues paying member of club. I doubt the 19,600 are all potential members. Many are likely just curious. Maybe a small fee could be charged for online visitors or limit content. If there is a way to make users pay I am all for it.

Well, I guess I am just reflecting the way I usually behave when looking for info online, only to find they want a fee…. I usually just navigate away. No guarantee the info will be helpful or factual I guess. Plus, not real eager to spread my payment info around on several different websites. Wish I knew just what the answer is, perhaps some free info, then pay to speak directly to one/more than one of us on some sort of online chat session.
