Whatever happened to that? I thought some time ago there was suppose to be a "list" forthcoming telling us which merchants offered discounts to AAW members, but I can't find any such list. They still list discounts as a benefit of membership.
Bill,
I don't make or even influence policy - I'm just a website geek. My guess is that you'll have to continue cooling your heals for a while, as it is now end-of-day Tuesday and no word has come down from management - and tomorrow is a holiday.
Ed,
I'm trying not to be negative here but when we are trying to throw Twitter and Face Book stuff into the mix for woodturners perhaps it would be more prudent to better use this venue to keep members updated. I do not understand why an election should not have any results after weeks and why couldn't this board have had a synopsis prepared and posted before they left for home. Perhaps you should have been there and urged them for a report. I believe this site would get better traffic if there was better information from the board in this era of instant communication. Let us use this site and get a lot more members interested in using it. Just mt thoughts on a cool fall day.
Bill
Regarding the question on Merchant discounts for AAW members - that started this thread, I've decided to remove that note from the list of member benefits on the website until the mechanics of this new program get sorted out. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion this premature statement of benefits has made.
Agreed. Maybe more than a few. Even if the discount is not huge, a lot of us burn up enough supplies to where the AAW dues would pay for themselves.As thrifty as most woodturners are, it might get you a few members.
