I dropped my STC membership this year, though, because I just

cost. In order to
get value from the STC, you really have to attend every local
meeting, get
to know people, and build up a kind of rapport with people in
your chapter.


Well...In order to get value out of anything, you have to put some work into
it. How can you derive any value from an organization if you don't
participate?
. . .
If, on the other hand, we're bemoaning STC for not just giving us all we
want without us having to lift a finger, then any membership fee is too
large and much too unaffordable.

Amen. Somehow, this Boston-accented voice[1] keeps ringing in my ear:

Ask not what your <organization> can do for you--
ask what you can do for your <organization>.
