When the Board of Directors came to speak in Seattle a couple of years ago they told us, in response to a complaint, that the young people have said they will leave if we don't stop the bickering. 2 questions later the same complaint came up and they repeated it again. Obviously these people cared more about their politics than retaining the young.
The math is this. Every member must replace themselves with 1.5 new members or there will be no members in 50 years. I have two parents they raised 6 kids, one is a member. My husband's parents had 2 kids they raised 1 member, so between our parents this generation is behind by 4 members. So Jim and I have to come up with 7 just to catch up for our parents. We only have 3 kids... we're taking this job very seriously.
