Randy,
As a former NYC boy who has Sicilian relatives in Brooklyn, I'm all for a formal SVX club or network. We could call it "La Casa SVX Nostra" or "Our SVX House". I suggest that we make all SVXers an offer that they can't refuse. As for dues, I have some acquaintances that are very good at collections and their fees are quite modest when compared to government fees and taxes. In order to cement the deal we may have to "donate" an SVX to a charitable organization such as the Mothers And Fathers Italian Association which helps needy families in the NYC and northern NJ area.. I recommend a black one of course.
These are just a few rambling thoughts and my 2 cents.
