Point #1: This conversation should have moved to PTG-L a while ago.
Point #2: How much do you think this would cost? A totally uneducated 
guess might be to start with $200K for a starting figure. Roughly $50 a 
head dues increase.
If that doesn't ruffle your feathers, go to your local chapter meeting 
and urge the chapter delegate to write a dues increase proposal 
(line-itemed for PR/marketing) for the 2006 council, and urge them to 
amend the current dues increase proposal by the same amount (better 
sooner than later, right?). And if it goes down in flames, come back 
again the next year, and double the amount.
If you're complaining about the status quo, it's time for you to become 
an activist and rally your chapter behind the Anderson campaign.
If you're an Associate who agrees with Dave's letter, test up and 
become an RPT so you can VOTE for progress.
Study the past -- Fern Henry launched a marketing campaign lo those 
many years ago but it was derailed by various factors, conditions, and 
factions. I can't claim sufficient experience or memory cells to tell 
the story, but let's not repeat the past and stop the efforts before 
they bear any fruit.

Just a couple thoughts on sunny afternoon,
