Well, the other side of things is... This announcement was made at the last delegates meeting. That's the Executive Board meeting - often mistaken as a rubber stamp for the next convention, now lets go drink (er.. I mean dance) meeting.
The Officers don't run the organization (well they do, but they have a Board that manages them). So the club delegates could have required the mailing continue.
The IAGSDC doesn't function like that I know - it hasn't for many years. Effectively, power HAS devolved to the officers and a handful of activist members, because they're the only ones who care. However, there is the POTENTIAL for the member clubs, through their delegates, to be proactive in shaping the organization and the services it offers.
So if clubs want the mailing service to come back - they should move a motion at the Executive Board to do that.
