This year we are offering an electronic version of the newsletter as an option to our membership. If you sign up for this option, you will receive your copy in your e-mail inbox, in PDF format, the same day it is sent to the printers. (Everyone else will receive it up to five days later!) You can read it online or print it yourself to read it the "old fashioned" way.

As postage and printing costs increase, signing up for the electronic version will help your club conserve its financial resources and use them more effectively to serve the membership. Of course, if you prefer receiving your newsletter via "snail-mail", no action is needed. You will continue to receive your newsletter as long as your membership is current.

To sign up for this option, send an e-mail from the address you want to receive it at to Lisa Anderson.
