Charles,
The fact that there is a show or trade session does not matter. The fact remains that we still have the membership issue in regards to chapters and international. Your propsal does not address this. Are you proposing that the chapter meeting be open to all chapter members whether they are CC>CC members or not? Open only to CC>CC members? Still the same question as between the current by laws and proposed ammendment. You will have the same complaints as previously stated on this board on each side of the issue no matter which way you answer this. Seems to be an all or nothing issue on each side.

One other thought. Shows in every area occurring at the same rate as chapter meetings would be quite an undertaking. Doubt it is feasible. Any less frequent than current chapter meeting schedules may not satisfy chapter members desire to meet with other collectors on a recurring basis.
