[Ansteorra] Fee Increase and other Business...

[Richard Threlkeld]

Why only paid members? From the numbers it appears that non-paid members
actually pay in more net (because the paid members get some services from
their membership) to the society via their NMS.

In service,

A couple of us were also talking about doing something like a simple 
tunic or leather pouch or other simple garb for new paid members. It 
helps people get started and garbed up.

That's my $.04 (I am too cheep for a full nickel!)
