We do not have Marin County roots, but the Kin Tracer does make a significant contribution to our society. If it does go on-line people will read part and delete it. What if we consider broadening it to include other parts of Northern California. Just a thought.

Prefer hard copy. Getting it at meetings is good idea. Ke Wiltz ____________________________________________________________ Find a huge selection of quality menorahs by clicking here now. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/BLSrjpTN7L50nBvTC2xLPFWroShzqdu8fm8ZkTCqs1nbt6dtbWjZy6sMOwI/
Joanne Rowlands and I figured out the cost per member for the KinTracer--this is ball park as we were remembering figures. I was not in front of my computer. This is what started the discussion in the board meeting about digitizing the KinTracer. It costs the society about $30 dollars per year per member just for the KinTracer. This does not include $100 per year for mailing the newsletter to members who prefer hard copies; $50-$75 for each speaker who visits us from outside our society; copy costs for handouts; office supplies, etc. We run a really lean organization. To further complicate the KinTracer mailing--bulk mail requires 200 pieces but we have less than 150 pieces. We still get charged for 200. Another board member is checking the cost of other types of mailing for the KinTracer. The biggest help to MCGS would be more members. We have lost about 100 members since 2000, if I am remembering my figures correctly.

Not everyone will want hard copies, but what is the total cost (in time and money) per year to mail out if every member wanted hard copies? I have a reason for asking....an idea. Phyllis -----Original Message----- As with every organization, we are looking to cut costs. Please let us know your thoughts. Joanne Rowlands
I already answered once but I agree with Esther Mott. $5.00 or more. I have a lot of Marin family so am anxious to continue receiving the publication. Enjoy sitting back reading it.

I would be happy to receive KinTracer by email only. Vernon Smith
How about leaving dues the same and charging ($5 or whatever) for an OPTIONAL subscription to the Kin Tracer (to be mailed). Also put it on the web site for those who would like to look at it there.

I agree with e-mailing KinTracer to cut costs. I was going to ask to not have KinTracer mailed to me anyway because I don't have any Marin ancestry so it doesn't interest me very much.

I do enjoy the Kin Tracer and would find it much more convenient to read in hard copy. Hence my preference for mailing. However in the realities of todays economy I see the justification for e-mailing. Would prefer that to increased costs. Would there be a format that we could use that would be less expensive to produce than what we have at present? Or how about adding a few more pages and producing say two instead of 4 issues a year? Hope this helps. Joy Best
I would very much like to receive Kin Tracer online. Can't throw anything away and I'm running out of space to keep the one's I have. I would not like to pay more since I don't have Marin ancestors.

Yes, I would like to continue to receive the KinTracer by mail as I have a magazine library that I try to keep current for those I'm helping with their genealogy. A possible savings on postage would be to just hand it out at the meetings (checking off each member who has picked up his or her copy, of course). I would be willing to pay for increased costs, however.

At a recent board meeting, we discussed the option of emailing the KinTracer to the membership. We would save money on printing, postage and associated costs. We would like your opinion. Would you like to receive the KinTracer online? Would you like to continue to receive the KinTracer by mail? Would you be willing to pay higher membership dues to continue to receive it by mail? Please let us know your thoughts.

For those of us content with the online version, upload .pdfs.
