It's so frustrating to watch someone who knows how to write but not how the business works make such mistakes.
You know, if there were an MWA chapter in Rochester, my entire writing group might well join. (Well, maybe not the poverty-stricken one who makes the poor financial decisions. She hasn't even bought my book!) Plus Rochester has an excellent writing center which might open its doors for preliminary meetings. I know a few mystery writers, nobody famous, in the area who'd be there, and as you say, it's close enough to a number of other cities and towns to be workable.
I was a member long ago, but every single event was in NYC. There was nothing for me but a freakin' newsletter, not worth the cost.
