Thanks for the correction, Patrick, I understand. All the members have been askng for is a regular email reminder about the upcoming meeting, topic and speaker. Since SLAS doesn't do it for whatever reason, I (and others) just thought your NEWS was the next best vehicle. This is asked every month and it seems like an easy enough thing to do. It doess not seem like rocket science, especially since Mr. Tenney also passes your NEWS to the other club - this seems like the easiest and best way to get the message out to the MOST interested people. What will it take, a formal petition to the Board and a member vote??? I am confused, they are looking for good turnouts and more participation each month, but not inform about the meeting thru an email. I know you are tryign to help, Patrick, I guess I asked the wrong person. But, what I was doing was asking A SLAS officier to use your regular NEWS to ASSIST in this communication - wonder why everything has to be SO political? If SLAS doeasn't want you to do it, then they should!!! Hint - Hint, SLAS Leadership! This is too frustrating when one puts in so many work hours and travels and just wants simple info on the next meeting - what's so hard with this request??? There, I feel better, but SLAS leaders, PLEASE figure this out or you will lose members if they feel you dont' care about such a simple request. Thanks, Patrick, I LOVE your regular NEWS. This small suggestion would make it even better, ttu I know that is not your call, only your willingness to help - hey (SLAS) guys/gals, let him help if you don't want to do it. Nighty Night, Patrick! Pleasant Dreams! Jim --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net> wrote:

Since Patrick does a great job on the regular
newsletter... Just a correction here. I put out my little electronic rag called News which should not be confused with the SLAS newsletter, Nova.
However, if it's ok with the SLAS board (they declined my earlier offer to do PR for the club) I'd be happy to include meeting topics in News.
Cheers!
Patrick
