I suggest that may be short-sighted.

There are already a considerable number of SSA members that are in a
supportive role and not actively flying, nor associated with any clubs.
We've already determined this. Keeping the magazine in front of them
is quite important and may inspire several to become active again.
Many track old friends this way and that's a form of active interest.

Secondly, they may pass along Soaring to someone who shows some
interest in flight who'll become a future member.

Clubs and chapters of course must also provide some value added aspect
that would hold an inactive member's interest. We have some associate
members and newsletter recipients that suggest the interest is there.
