At first we were getting quite a few each month, but over the summer 
mail-in registrations have slowed quite a bit. Until May, I was sending 
David checks every two weeks--now I am just sending them every month. I 
haven't been doing this long enough to know whether it is seasonal, but 
I suspect it is. I believe it will pick up this fall.

On the other hand, when I first stated this job in December 2002, I knew 
that Jack had not had time to send out renewal notices for quite a 
while. I sent lots of e-mails and postcards to folks who's memberships 
had expired back several issues, as I recall. (Since we hadn't been 
consistent with publishing TAG, it was hard for people to tell when to 
hit the panic button. I still think some folks don't believe me when I 
say they aren't going to get the next TAG! :-) )

Here is the breakdown of mail-in registrations by month, I hope:

Dec  15
Jan  29
Feb  16
Mar  12
Apr  12
May  12
Jun  11
Jul  6
Aug  3
Sept 3
