Subsequent to the board discussion on newsletter cost containment, I looked at the data base. We send out newsletters to 15 people whose membership has been expired for more than 6 months and another three whose membership expired for 4 and 5 months. Rick, you questioned if someone should hit the "purge" button". Doing so could save the club as much as $200 a year. If it is to be done, please let me know by Tuesday so I can reduce the number of copies to be printed. I will add "Please email me if you wish to participate in nl exchange program" notes in all those nonreciprocating exchange ones we send out and see what we get. If we reduce the number of nl sent out by 25, which is about what it would be if we purge those long expired membership mailings and the exchanges that drop out, it could save the club $200-$400 a year depending on number of nl published in any year.
