They may not be clowns but their lack of orginazition is clear and their infrasture is clearly challenged. I attempted to become a life member back in the early nineties doing the year to year payment program that I could afford by going to the yearly banquets (two) to pay it down. It all went bad shortly after the second payment and began with no response to my in person payments at banquets accompined by where they knew nothing about me to by then no response to e-mails and then my phone calls with no response to them with then in person phone calls where I connected again where they knew nothing about me and then it extended to online and me and calling again and again and them trying to look me up online with them telling me they did not know who I was. I ask you how would someone continue to be member of this a claimed to be an important orginzation and want to give then money to continue their cause when they behave this way ?
