OK, so here's the deal:  First, I don't want to be paid in advance for
next year because there's a very teeny slight chance I might not be able
to do the newsletter all this year (it's because of a good thing, but it
probably won't happen, but I don't want to Jinx it, and I'll know by
Sunday ;).

Regarding splitting up the duties of creating, xeroxing, and mailing, it
always does seem to get brought up every few years (last time was when
Maxine was still doing the newsletters and was tired of the task).  Just
to let you know what you'd be getting yourself into: the problems in this
case become first, how does the editor get the master copy to the xeroxer?
Currently I rely heavily on PostScript printers for the graphics, and most
of the board balks at this... e-mailing may not be an option. When Maxine
was doing the newsletter and I was the xerox boy, it typically added an
extra two days to the process while she snail-mailed the master copy to
me.  Then there's the issue of stamping, folding and mailing...
technically the xeroxed copies are supposed to be done by the board
meeting so that we can all fold, stamp and mail them that night.  In the
last year, this has not happened; I've never been ready by that meeting.
