What is it with NEMGTR, anyway? I joined when I bought by 52 TD (which came
in several boxes and buckets). Loved their magazine, and went to a couple
of
local NJ chapter events. Good stuff! Then one year, when my membership was
up, I prepaid for 3 years worth. A year later, I got a renewal notice. I
e-mailed the subscription folks, never heard, and after 2 months, the
magazine
stopped. I e-mailed subscription, regalia and cc'd the boss. No response.
Sent
another round of e-mails to the entire leadership, including a copy of my
cancelled check as evidence of paying 3 years worth.
Never heard anything from anybody, never started receiving the mag again, so
I've officially sworn off NEMGTR.
At one of the events I went to, the older members were bemoaning the fact
that there aren't enough "yongsters" taking up the T series. I considered
myself
one of the youngsters (late 30's at the time), but after the way they
totally
ignored one of their paying members, it's no wonder.
And I'm now honestly considering swapping the TD for an MGA! Another
"youngster" lost.... >>
As a long time NEMGTR member and having had some of the same problems are
you, I have two suggestions:
First, sign your emails and give a location so we will know who you are and
where you live.
Second, send a copy of your message to Hank Rippert at
fairwind@carolina.rr.com
Hank is the new leader and I'd bet he'd try to make it up to you.
