As I understand it, the AFJS today does nothing but rent mailing lists. 
I do not know what the revenues are used for. When I was an officer and 
director, along with guys like Norm Vickers and Dave Robinson and Warren 
Vache Sr, we had a vision of AFJS being a helluva lot more than that . . 
. and, in fact, we wrote and published guides on how to start a jazz 
society, how to put on concerts and more. When I put on the national 
convention in Fort Lauderdale, I had a speaker from the IRS who revealed 
the secrets of being a 501(c)(3), and the head of the NEA music program 
to talk about grants. 

I would have expected AFJS to lobby congress and the royalty tribunal to 
curb the present excesses of ASCAP and BMI, for example.

Kindly,
