The Membership Yo-Yo

I've been compiling numbers from past Adresaroj of ELNA (precursor to E-USA.) I'm sorry to say that the data is not enheartening. Membership reached a peak somewhere around 1987, at the 100 year anniversary of Esperanto and has since declined. I'm wishing I remembered what ELNA was doing at that time to increase the numbers. If it wasn't directly anniversary related, it should definitely be repeated. While I don't like the downward spiral I've discovered, I also don't believe it's the end of the road.
