I am worried about associations

What impact will the bail out/rescue have on our community? The financial organizations are already involved with members and the impact the $700 billion will have on them. But what about the rest of us? The - dare I say it? - depression is already having an affect on many retail and consumer groups. Professional societies may have to counsel their members on ways to encourage clients and patients to continue treatment and use. Manufacturing assns will see members struggling to keep up production when sales fall. I'm worried. Are you prepared? What are you doing for your members? your staff?
