PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Fellow Route Agents: This issue of the Chatter contains details about our Annual Meeting, scheduled to take place at NAPEX in Tysons Corner, Virginia on the first weekend in June. I very much hope that I will see many of you there. I am quite pleased at the number of fine exhibits of U.S. Classics that will be on show. Of special note is the Friday Dutch Treat event which includes a private tour (after regular hours) of the Na- tional Postal Museum in downtown Washinglon, DC. We are able to arrange this because our Vice President, Wilson Hulme is the Curator of Philately at the NPM. This involved costs (transportation and museum security) not normally associated with our social events; I want to offer many thanks to three of our dealer members: Har- vey Bennett, Charles Shreve and Scott Trepel who each have made generous donations to cover much ofthese extra expenses! If you plan on coming to the Annual Meeting, and I hope you are - please make your hotel reservations promptly and also your reservations for the Friday dinner. Ifyou are an internet surfer, I hope that you have watched the steady progress ofour Society website - the ap- pearance is more professional and the information is extremely current thanks to our webmaster, Charles Di Como and Board member Wade Saadi who has lent some technical expertise to the project. Charles has placed an update "date" on the home page which will let you know the last time the site has changed. We got an excel- lent review in the April 2003 American Philatelisl column, "The Glassine Surfer" (page 310). On a different note - I have not had any response to my appeal in the last issue of the Chatter for a volunteer for Society Publications Sales (Back Issues) job. This is an extremely important position. If you have some inter- est in the job, but doubt you have space, it might be possible for the Society to cover the cost of renting storage. Please contact me if you might consider undertaking this task. (P.O. Box 99, Lisbon, lvD 21765 or walke96@attelobal. neO Yours in philately, Pat Walker
