Dear Friends,
During this unprecedented and seriously disruptive period, beside the really serious issues of staying healthy, staying isolated to slow the virus spread, staying happy in our families and still connected in our communities -- besides that, we have lost a lot of horse racing opportunities recently (and will lose more) with suspensions of many tracks this Spring.
To help with this is a very small way, I've made a few changes to the RDSS Subscription options:
1. Everyone who renews a RDSS 12-month Subscription in 2020 will get an
extra 1 month added to the normal renewal period for the same $150 price. If you already renewed in 2020, I'm adding the extra month to your existing Subscription period (I'll send you an email). This is in recognition of reduced racing opportunities during the March - June period.
2. I added a few extra Subscription period options:
3 months ($42.50), 6 months ($80) and 2 years ($250). If cash flow is tight right now, use the 3 or 6 month options when you renew (the extra $5 included in each 3 and 6 month pro-rata subscription covers extra PayPal processing costs).
If you are feeling confident in the future (I definitely am!) you can lock in a cheaper Subscription price for 2 years: $250. Don't worry, I will be supporting and evolving RDSS for many years to come 
You can find these new Subscription options on the RDSS Subscription Page.
3. With the extra 1 month added this year, if your Renewal Date is getting too far ahead of when the PayPal payment comes due, simply go to your
PayPal account recurring payments and cancel the $150 automatic annual payment to Knowledge Management Systems (RDSS). I will send you an email before the renewal Date to remind you to re-subscribe. That way (even if next year) your dollars will go a little further.
I know the above are but small steps in the face of serious economic and health problems we are all facing. Frankly, I'm trying to find ways to encourage folks to continue their RDSS subscriptions (i.e. my livelihood) during this slow-down period, but also it is a (small) way for me to express my gratitude for all the support you all have shown for this project over the years.
Lastly - I know an update to RDSS is (long) overdue and I can promise that one WILL come sometime this year, I hope sooner than later. I have a few software projects on the go right now which I hope will provide a new foundation for RDSS and the Sartin Methodology for years to come.
Thank you all again for your years of support for RDSS, and for helping to continue the legacy of Doc Sartin and his band of wise teachers!
