Men's Division General Meeting
The annual MD commorative meeting will be held at the DCCC at 10am, 27 August (Saturday). The theme has something to do with getting the youth division off their butts. The format is likely to be some intro stuff followed by some discussion groups followed by summation. Afterward there will be hot dogs and hamburgers. There's no better way to spend a Saturday morning.
World Tribune Promotion
SGI-USA is having a nationwide World Tribune promotion campaign in September. The goal, as I understand it, is to have all leaders and 50% of the general membership as subscribers. Leading me to think that the subscription rate is not great. A couple of things that would help might be a) put in some interesting articles and b) provide better service.
The general WT format is a President Ikeda speech and some personal experiences. But not enought to compel an acceptable subscription rate. President Ikeda's message hasn't changed for 40 some years. Some members, it would seem, really like this format. But, if you've read one World Tribune, you've read them all.
Service sucks. They come as much as a month late; I have received 2 issues at the same time. Its's not unusual to receive them out of order.
