If I charged Ken Koncelik for my design services to put together "DCS Magazine", it would be well over $5000 per issue at my regular hourly rate of $75. (through my firm, Terradise Design) Multiply that by 4 times a year, and you have a rough idea of where the majority of your membership dues go if you are currently a member of the DOA. That is all changing, because from here on out, I will be donating my time to assemble and format "DeLorean World". I will also use my connections in the printing world to make sure we aren't paying more than we should there. This reduction in expenses will directly translate to either a reduction in the cost of Association membership, or in us being able to provide our members with much more for that fee. It will be up to the Board to decide what the best approach is. They can use your input! Thanks for your continued support! -Josh -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Substelny Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 5:01 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [DML] DOA/DCS I *like* the DOA. For years I was its biggest proponent on the DML and I am pleased to see so many DMLers take an interest and jump to its defense. Bravo. I agree that the cost of magazines is part of the DOA's dues, but that cannot be the whole explanation. There are certainly bigger membership pools for the Studebaker and Porsche marquees, but what about Bricklin? There is no mathematical reason for the DOA to be so much more expensive than the Bricklin International Owner's Group. And Brickline magazine is (supposedly) a quarterly publication. - Mike Substelny VIN 1280 [moderator snip] ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
