Re: [DML] The DOA - Finances and Future

[Trevor Johnson <comet4055@xxxx>]

The last issue was missing almost all of the vendor ads due to a change
in policy. All of the vendors that had not paid by the deadline had their
ads pulled. This is different because in the past we allowed the ads to
go through and accepted payments late. This time we wanted to make it
clear that it is a good idea to pay on or before the deadlines. 
As for the classified price, that was raised a while back, as in
comparison, the average ad runs about 10$ an issue, which is
substantially lower than most other methods of advertising a car for sale
in a magazine. 
The number of paid members are kept confidential but it is well in excess
of 1250. The financial information is also not generally released, but if
you are interested try contacting the treasurer, Joan Truscott, I do not
know her policy of distributing the information. 
There has been a slight change as the current DeLorean World Editor
stepped down and a new one has been appointed. The next issue promises to
be very different from the past few years... And should be quite a
positive step for the Association.
