Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

The reporting persons have observed that since the November 1995 public offering
of the issuer at $15 per share, the issuer's membership,  revenues, and earnings
all  have  approximately  doubled,  yet the  market  price of its  common  stock
(currently  approximately  $14.50) has not reflected  true value.  The reporting
persons  seek to  increase  shareholder  value  through the  exploration  of all
available  alternatives,  including a management  buyout,  a buyout  involving a
financial  or  strategic  investor,  and a sale to a third  party,  in which the
reporting  persons may or may not participate.  The reporting  persons intend to
conduct  discussions with the issuer's  management and with other  stockholders,
investment bankers and other professionals. The reporting persons may, depending
upon conditions prevailing from time to time, purchase additional shares or sell
shares of the issuer's common stock.

         1    The original Schedule 13D, filed May 20, 1998, mistakenly excluded
              the shares owned by the two named entities  because Mr. Daniels in
              one case was  unaware of the  ownership  and in the other case had
              failed to consider  himself the  beneficial  owner  because of his
              lack of any pecuniary interest in the holdings.
