Right now, the label count is 855 (!).  This number will drop when "the axe
falls" and I expire those members who haven't renewed yet, probably in
January.  I am allowing considerable slack to avoid offending members
who may have been concerned about events over the past year.  I'm also a
little late in getting out the latest renewal notices : (

I should get the labels out to John by this weekend.
