RE: [DML] DOA/DCS

["Josh Haldeman" <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

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

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.
