X-Message-Number: 1792 Date: 22 Feb 93 00:05:45 EST From: MICHAEL RISKIN <> Subject: CRYONICS: Current Budget Situation/A.Lopps recent email To All Alcor Suspension Members While many of you may object to a dues increase, the dues, have in fact, been kept at an artificially low level for the services provided, for many years. Major donations, and in particular, the entire endowment fund donated by one member, have made up the difference for the insufficient fee structure. It is time for the membership to pay a more realistic yearly dues. We currently have basically a subsidized/ welfare state type of services and dues structure, one that I believe most of you would find objectionable on moral, economic, and personal grounds. I am vigorously encouraging all of you to show your support for an even stronger Alcor (already the best cryonics organization in the world) with positive words on cryonet. Thank you, Michael Riskin, CPA,Ph.D. Membership ombudsman. Chair, membership audit commitee. Volunteer internal auditor. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1792
