A geez is necessary since all I was doing was making a suggestion. Your

comments about unless someone was willing to go over someone's house and help

out

had nothing to do with someone just making a suggestion for sending out a

newsletter.

A suggestion:

What about offering the option of receiving the LPA newsletter via e-mail? I

don't know if it's a plausible option, but it would save the snail mail postage

paid for those who chose it.

Helen,

I'm just wondering...do you want to receive the District 3 Newsletter

via email? We'll put you on the email list. I can also have Rick suggest to

other chapter officers that an email database be created...because not only

will it save time and energy, it'll save $$$. Please let me know. Also, will

you be attending the meeting this weekend?

Thanks

Barbara
