The numbers are very disconcerting.<br>
The following membership numbers sank from August to September:<br>
<br>
Bylaws Sustaining Members: 14700 to 14504<br>
<br>
Active Members: 14411 to 14321<br>
<br>
Clearly, we are in deep, dire, big trouble in little third party. Something must be done. We need new leadership, yesterday. Does someone have a Tardis?<br>
<br>
In other news..<br>
2017 Jan through Sept revenue exceeds the 10 year average by 7.65% which includes Convention years. Comparing apples to apples, it exceeds the average for the odd numbered years by 27.12%.<br>
<br>
Also, the 10 yr average for September in odd numbered years is about $122,000 and this year ended up somewhere north of $160,000, not including convention revenues and bequests.<br>
<br>
It is clearly a dire situation..<br>
<br>
In yet other news.. Louisiana went up again. It was a modest increase but when most states still declined a little....I will take 201 over 200.<br>
<br>
In yet other news, my Dentist Dr. Jordan Ferrage, DDS is now a dues paying member to the National LP.<br>
<br>
What am I saying? I guess I am saying if you want National Membership to grow in your state... ask your Dentist to join. But if you REALLY want to grow membership.. you should have a Dentist in the first place..<br>
<br>
<br>
That said, even though the LNC sucks at Life and membership retention we have fabulous teeth.<br>
<br>
Speaking of Life.. if you have not yet gotten your Life Membership and you serve on the LNC, I think we will be having another house party in New Orleans on December 8th, somewhere right off St Charles Avenue.. it's just a total guess on my part... book your flight in early Friday for the meeting. Chances are if I am already in New Orleans before noon on December 8th there will be a house party. Bring your check book.<br>

P.S. No cheese fries were harmed during the writing of this email.<br>
