Membership cards, in order to cut costs, are sent only to those members who send a stamped, self- addressed envelope with their renewal. They have not been discontinued! Now, I would like to talk about the Bulletin itself. The "B&M Bulletin" has always been our best method of getting the railroad's his• tory out to our members. It is a benefit of membership, and not something to which you subscribe. This is a subtle distinction, but one that needs to be made. When you sub• scribe to "TIME" magazine, for example, you are not doing so to support Time-Life, Inc., but to get the magazine. On the other hand, when you join the Society, you are helping us to achieve our goal, the preservation of the B&M's history. The B&M Bulletin is a benefit of this membership, a way for us to show some of the history we are preserving. The B&MRRHS membership currently stands at over 1500 nationwide, as well as having members in Australia, , England and Switzerland. We are a strong organization, and judging bythe responses to the voluntary assessment, an organization of loyal and supportive members. With the kind of support that you have shown over the past few months, it makes all the hard work of the Officers and Bob Foley informs us that Guilford is keeping a switcher at Wakefield Junction, MA, to handle Board of Directors a little more satisfying. the traffic still routed there.

Pro'sand Con's: Pro: We would save enough money to almost print one full issue of the BULLETIN per year; we would not need a new Newsletter editor, because the "newsletter" would be basically assembled by the Board of Directors at their monthly meeting; and we could make it inex• pensive enough to return to a monthly format, although to be truly cost-effective, it would have to be mailed via third-class mail.

What has prompted this soul-searching as far as the Newsletter is concerned were some of the comments in the recent letters received in response to Carl Byron's request for comments in the January Newsletter. The overwhelming feeling put forth was that the BULLETIN pro• ceeds at all costs, and that most other opera• tions of the B&MRRHS were expendable. Sev• eral members mentioned the Newsletter by name (we hope that this was not a shot at your editors but just a concern for the Society in general). Please remember that this is not a definite proposal, but just an idea that we'd like your input on. We're sure that whichever track we take, some will not like it (we sure have learned that over the last seven years!), and this may not Our Trains Unlimited 2 Master of Ceremonies John Alan Roderick smiles for the camera even be a case of "majority rules" but we want was none other than former B&MRRHS presi• while Jim Nigzus, Jr., checks out one of the to hear what you think.
