Going electronic would certainly help a lot.

One thing that would be a big help is if the articles in Soaring Magazine
would be available on the SSA web site.

Converting Soaring Magazine to a webzine is a way to save significant
money. The PP&P (Paper, Printing & Postage) costs of a print magazine are
significant. I understand that there are many who want the hardcopy but I
can live without it if that's what it takes to keep the organization
afloat. Anyway, today's ink jet printers can almost match the quality of a
magazine for those who must have a hardcopy.

Threre are almost certainly members who would vollunteer to manage a
webzine at least for a time.

That is an excellent idea (and I think it is how the Canadians do it).
An extra fee could be charged for those who have to have a printed
copy, perhaps another $20-30 per year.
