  After being a charter member of chapter 39 (Tampa, FL area) for way over 20 years, then not receiving a meeting notice for 9.9 years (contiguously) (I still got to vote for people that I never heard of) my wife asked if I wanted to send them another $55 for my annual renewal, I decided I was wasting my money.  I also didn't receive a single news letter (or anything else) for way over 10 years.
  I missed the SBE all of that time, but I was more than busy.
