Since we lost our newsletter editor last
February, the monthly mailing has been in the form of a pamphlet (rather then
the typical, booklet-style newsletter that June Olberding used to send
out.) Here’s a list of the pamphlets that have been sent since
then.
March 2004 – featuring Yohan
Fernando speaking on Wild Bettas
April 2004 – highlighting the 2004
General Auction
May 2004 – featuring Tom Waltzek
speaking on Loaches
June 2004 – featuring Erik
and Kathy Olson’s collection trip up the Amazon in Brazil
August 2004 – promoting the 2004
Summer Picnic
(We thought that we had filled the
Newsletter Editor position, but unfortunately that has not worked out so
nothing was mailed in September or October.)
November 2004 –
featuring Michael Goumas speaking on Breeding, Selling, and Trading Fish
to Local Stores
I checked the database and these pamphlets
were mailed to you and Mike at the following address.
Mike Hayes
10921 36th Avenue NE
Seattle WA 98125
I have not received any of them back by return
mail so I assumed they were reaching you. Is this still your current
address? If not, please let me know and I’ll correct our
database. Also, if you’d like, I could print a new copy of any/all
of the pamphlets and send them to your new address. You might especially
be interested in the June pamphlet as it contains information and driving
directions to our new meeting place on the campus
of SeattlePacificUniversity.
Thanks also for your membership
renewal. So far, we’ve received all positive comments from those
that received the email reminders – I hope it was equally helpful to you.
Please let me know if I can be of any
further assistance.

Reminder
Hi Rick,
I just posted our membership dues today. We have
not received any newsletters in a long time, even though our membership just
expired. Are we still on the mailing list?

The GSAS Board of Directors has asked me to provide our members with a
friendly reminder when it is time to renew their membership. We hope that
you find this service to be a helpful and useful tool in making sure that your
membership in GSAS remains current. If you’ve recently renewed,
please disregard this reminder with our thanks.
Our goal is to ensure that you find your membership to
be a very valuable and interesting aspect of your home aquarium hobby; and we
are working hard to that end. Your continued interest and support of GSAS
is much appreciated.
Your Family membership recently expired on 10/21/2004.
There are two ways to renew. You can simply pay
your dues to Susan Welenofsky, our Membership Coordinator, at the next monthly
meeting; or, if you would prefer, you can send your check (payable to GSAS) in
the mail.
Susan’s mailing address is…
Susan Welenofsky, GSAS Membership
2973 142nd Place SE #6
Bellevue, WA 98007
IMPORTANT: Please help us keep our address and
other information up-to-date. If you have moved, changed phone numbers,
or gotten a new email address recently (and who hasn’t?) please include that
information. There are forms available at the meeting, or you can print
out a membership form from our website: just go to www.gsas.org and click on the link to the
membership form.
Thank you, again, for all you do to make GSAS such a
successful and rewarding experience for us all!
