NEW BUSINESS:

June Newsletter:

Jeff discussed the length of that issue, and he indicated that we do not want to have 12 pages again. We need to go back to the 8 page format, with just one long article and more shorter articles. It was also discussed that we have more time to review the final proof. It was decided that Debbie handle the advertising, and will send it to Pearl, and she will send a copy to Ralph.

There was considerable discussion regarding whether or not to put the membership ad in the newsletter. That discussion was tabled until Debbie can research how many people actually use the add to mail in their membership dues.
