The International Steamboat Association and it's publication are all but defunct, how are the other associations around the world fairing?
I know the SBA has managed to make their publication available online for those prone to spilling coffee on their morning paper. Their publication is arguably the best in the world, though I would sure like to see it weekly, rather than monthly
I know for out here there used to be an annual letter leading up to the Delta Meet, then it was letters and email, now it's just email. I have heard from several people they've not received anything in the past few years and were wondering if the meet was still happening. It seems some who are still of sound mind and ambulatory have fallen through the cracks... out here anyway.
There was a quick little piece about the Klamath Lake meet on a local Oregon station earlier this year. It was pretty good clip, save for the blowing-up comment, which could be enough of a deterrent for some to even consider checking it out (especially with their children).

We need to reach out to outlets like that and on social media, lest we rust or rot away and be forgotten.
