Jim - The experience in Roanoke (and I'm sure plenty other places)has 
been that you do increase the membership rolls, but you do not increase 
the membership - the real ones who attend meetings, help on projects etc. 
Just Ask some of the big societies like C&P and FSK...
In the years since I've been a member, no one has stayed more than one 
year when you "Cut Bargains".  Time will tell.
