Allan & I have tried really hard to provide a high quality magazine. However, part of the problem is keeping our costs in control. Nate hasn't pushed too hard but between printing the thing and mailing it, it's been a big financial drain on the club. I will hear it again after the treasurer receives the bill.

One obvious solution to the problem is increase the membership two-fold. Economies of scale would help out on the per unit cost to produce the magazine. Unfortunately, as the postal service continues to raise the price of postage, so do our costs. I would like to see a membership drive in the future.

Perhaps also in the future we will shoot for 80-90 pages. I think you will be pleased with this issue. And THANK YOU from both of us for your support and participation.

Thanks Archie.
