How To Join

Sorry, you cannot join. You are just in or not. Lifetime membership is involuntary and cannot be helped; you think, you belong. Thus, membership is open and unlimited. We hope this encourages you to be active and participate on the web site or Forum. Perhaps you would like to attend or host a meeting in your area. Let us know what you would like I.A. to do for you.

Why Join?

Beats us! Benefits: None! No regular meetings. No newsletter. No advertisements. No group trips. No mass e-mails. There is no membership list to sell to commercial interests. Maybe you want to follow our motto: Have an Idea? Let us talk you out of it! So when you have one of your many great ideas, you can contact a member to discuss it. But, whoa! This will be difficult. Because membership is truly anonymous; you will have to discover another member with whom to share your brilliance. Who might that be? Read on.

By sharing both your ideas and a way to contact you on this site, you might discover others in your area or an e-mail friend or two with whom to talk on a regular basis. Mainly, you would be part of a new family that enjoys ideas on any and many topics, and you would be able to share with others on either this site or in the Forum.

Sharing

1. Short essays (up to 500 words) may be shared on the web site. Topics: anything. The editor will select items by whim. Submit to: im2smith@yahoo.com. When you submit an essay, remember to give the identity you wish to have listed at the end of the essay; you can remain anonymous as the sample essays on line are now, use an e-mail address if you'd like others to contact you, or use your name. It's your choice.

2. Conferences. The President might call one in an area with sufficient membership, if it were possible to know. Cost would be low. The purpose would be to meet and share. Or, a member could volunteer to host a meeting in his/her area and advertise the event on this website.

3. We welcome any suggestions that members may have, given that our staff is very small and time constraints could limit how much might get done. If nothing else, e-mail I.M. with suggestions and reactions to this site.
