I realize it is a complex thought, but the wiki is not part of the e-membership, neither is the website, but electronic members would actually be contributing to their existance in addition to the electronic bulletin. Presently print members contribute very little to these, and they have been largely sustained by the efforts of the electronics services committee with the Geek Dinner, The Iris Register and donations. 

Just as a matter of clarification, the Geek Dinner has never been a function of the Electronic Services Committee. Rather,  has always been a personal effort of Joanne and myself with lots of help from Michelle Snyder, Jill Bonino, Maureen Mark, Sandy Ives, Dana and Vernon Brown, Dave Silverberg and many others as well as the individuals and hybridizers that generously donate their time and items to the auction.
