Members and other readers:
The saga of our move continues. From June 1 to date the board of directors and the volunteers have not only done the daily chores, but have steadily reduced that which needs to be filed or otherwise dealt with because of the move. I am continually amazed by what 60- and 70-year-old volunteers can get done. I hope that as you read articles and other items between the covers of this Bulletin you will decide to join up as a volunteer.
I must tell you of a note that was left on the volunteer desk. The author used a full page to find short-comings in both the physical plant and the volunteers. It was .interesting to me how this person could find fault with everything and then state "These are the reasons why I won't become a member/'. What an opportunity was missed. As a member, this person could have worked and helped to change many of the things being criticized. I hope that any of our members seeing something that is in need of attention would bring it to the members of the board or the volunteer on duty so action could taken.
For all of you who have not visited our new home just across Sand Point Way Northeast from the National Archives branch I wish you would take some time to visit, have a tour of the facility and see what has been done. You will also see what we still have to do to make the society into a truly Professional Organization.
Respectfully,
Daniel Devening Newton President
