In order to have a feature published in the magazine the deadlines for submission are quite in advance of the date of publication.
And in order to have an article published (about WIMAC, let's say) there has to be a dedicated writer and photographer who will take the responsibility. A Director? Already quite busy, as everybody else. A member? Already quite busy as everybody else.
I suggested to MAAC (Zone Director) some years ago to replace it by publishing it in the MAAC Web page. Shot down "because not all members have a computer" (?????). MAAC could have saved oodles of money.
I suggested also that the members could opt out of receiving the magazine with an accompanying reduction in membership fees. "Nyet!"

But bailey, at WIMAC we always say "If you have an idea you own it!" Volunteer?
There is a decrease in fee if you do not take the printed version of the maac mag I just renewed and I was offered the choice.
