Let me throw my two cents in the pot. For the entire exsistance of the LSBA (I have been with it for the whole show) we have fought the on going up-hill battle of membership recruitment. The annual dues paid to belong to the LSBA are the major portion of our budget income.
I don't think the issue should be deciding which news media to use, but to utilize all of the media outlets available to reach as many bowhunters across the State that we can. The potential of our website has long been under-used.
I applaude the decision to put the mag on the website, but we also need the hard copy . As said, not everyone has the i-net. and there is a lot of areas in this grand Sate of Texas where it is not available for the average people.
I constantly run into bowhunters that don't know that there is a State records system or even a bowhunting organization (LSBA) that works hard to perserve the bowhunting rights they take for granted. We spend too much time attemping to sell the LSBA to bowhunters that are already members.
I am a hard core bowhunter of 44 years, and the LSBA was brought into exsistance to offer the bowhunters thier own association, but being open-minded, I welcome any program to support the LSBA. Bickering among our ranks does not promote the results we need to continue for another 30 years. Membership is the key factor to survival, and keeping that member is the main focus. So channel your ideas in that direction and sign up a new member in your area.

Question? Off topic..Why does this double post almost evrytime I submit? What am I doing wrong?

The topic that started was just requesting the minutes on the site, that got feedback from it is on the EC agenda to go to meetings if you are interested. Whilst there is value in all the opinions, the original question was distorted. As stewards of the site we all need to keep the focus on serious topics like the communication issues. Ron's point is very accurate to the issue of the magazine, he more importantly directs focus to the fact that our goals are membership increase and communication to have an informed association. I am glad to see the posts and happy to be part of the organization but we need to break these threads up so we can focus and be sure the answer is not lost, to people that are new to the LSBA site they probably wonder why we cannot stay focused...

I haven't been on in a while but wanted to give an update to the magazine. It is scheduled to ship out on Friday. We are right on the normal two weeks from approval schedule.

Hello to the T-Post family. Good to see you on the sight.

Hopefully everyone has noticed that Linedawg has started a new thread called Meeting Notes. Steve volunteered to recap the meetings and post the notes on this thread for the membership to have access to. Thanks for getting right on this and having them posted already. Thanks again and enjoyed working with you this weekend and having you and beleg shoot.

Enjoyed getting to hang out with everyone. Thought the meeting went well also.
