[email protected]. Message from the President... I guess it's too early to call this our Spring newsletter and in fact this is the first time we have put out more than four per year. Distributing the newsletter on line has brought about some significant changes for our association. (For those without internet or limited access, we still offer a print version). First of all, we can include more of the articles and information many of you send in. We are also able to list more events both here in Canada and Internationally. Previously, printing and postage were major expenditures in both time and money for the club, and so we can now re direct these resources to supporting events and activities across the country.
