FROM THE WEBMASTER
Dear Fellow Members:
The Website has been redone to include expanded archives Local
Posts and Archives . If you have a local post link that is not there please send it to me for inclusion,
Remember send me your material either by E mail or snail mail to be included on the website and/or the Poster. I
am currently seeking new material for the September-October Poster.
Both the Poster and the website can ONLY be a success with the input from the members. Thank you for support in
making the web site and the Poster a success!
