<Fred, consider that the entire nationwide car-club scene is losing members,
including SCCA who are probably the biggest in the world. It undoubtably has
nothing at all to do with the POCA Board; some badly informed people are
ascribing to them much more power and influence than they actually have. What
really motivates this behavior is a puzzlement. More likely and in spite of
the current stock market levels,  things ain't so good out there real-life-
wise for the general membership. I am currently unemployed and several Nor-Cal
members are "at liberty", so to speak. When you're in a reduced-income or
unstable job mode, the 1st thing to go is "discretionary expenses" like car
club activities. Just my thoughts FWIW. Glad you're still having a good time
driving your car. Send me a write-up on an eastern event now 'n then; I'll put
it in the newsletter.
