I did not get any type of free ancestry subscription when becoming a cc. I do (as many of you) subscribe and pay the full price to subscribe. (I joined the group in Wi in 1999.) I do agree it would be a very nice jesture on Ancestry's part to provide a free or reduced subscription price for the hard work of all coordinator's do. I just wanted to add to the mix of the discussion on the local societies. Please remember the views of a "society" is not always the view of all board members or members. I know several of you also serve on society boards (as I do) and some societies work very hard to over come the negative veiws etc that came from past board members or members. I only speak from my own experience and know each cc's experience is different. Please remember board memebers do change and you might find new "blood" may better understand the importance of the computer as another tool for research. Has there been a problem in the past on the way our voting system is set up? Has the system been one vote per cc no matter how many counties they were cc of and no vote for co-cc's? If this is how is has been I would like to see it kept that way. Tina- stated in a previous email "Some states have TC - Town Coordinators - should we address this in case it comes up in the future." I would suggest any decision we decide upon for the co-cc's should also apply to any Town Coordinators. <snipped> from another of Tina's emails Thus my "Each member may cast one vote only (no matter the number of county or topical sites hosted)." By wording it each member, wouldn't that read to mean each cc, co-cc or town cc would have a vote?
