Howdy All,

As there was no response from MJ...... are there any other Aroid Society
members who would care to expound on the benefits of being a member of th=e
Aroid Society?  I am interested in joining, but want to find out what I g=et
for my money (see message attached below).

Hopefully someone out there will be of some help.  If there is still no
answer forthcoming I'll ask the Aroid-L.

I might also add, that it isn't just me who is wondering.  I have had
emails from a couple of people asking if I'd had responses, wondering wha=t
these "other benefits" are.

Thanks in anticipation.

Paul Tyerman
