[KLUG Members] KLUG lack of donations, volunteers, members.

[Victor]

Well, it's no surprise to me, and should be expected, that KLUG has problems
when it comes to donations, volunteers, and members. The problem seems to be
pretty obvious, and doesn't require one to be a sysadmin to see. I made a
post in Members Digest Vol 1 #1044, and received exactly ZERO replies, not
even a "flame". I posted almost exactly the same message in a couple of other
LUG mailing lists, and I'm still replying to offers of help, rides to
meetings (some as much as 2-3 hrs drive away), and general messages of
welcome, glad to have you, how can we help? If YOU were in the shoes of a new
(or experienced) user, which group(s) would you support? If KLUG finds itself
short of volunteers, members, and donations, you have only your own attitudes
to blame. No amount of technical expertise can make up for a lack of simple
courtesy, and no pretty website can attract new members like a simple "Hi,
welcome." from a group member.
