REF: STC and the INTERNET. If previous discussions on this list are any indica
tion, the comment about cost may be wide of the mark. STC is a 501(c)3 organiz
ation--i.e., we are in the same IRS class as the Red Cross and other charities-
-and educational organizations. Previous postings suggest a link with an acade
mic institution in the area with NO increase in dues. And on that, take a look
at the reserves STC now has. It is far from poor. Granted that the budget (t
entative) is about 200K over, but a lot of committees do not spend their full b

o, if the previous postings can be believed. Send the letters to the office an
