It's fine with me if Margie wants to do the membership. Maybe we should post
on the blackboard at the meetings: Renew memberships with a board member.

Margie Cashman's address is:

2232 E. Blaine St., Seattle, WA  98112-2921

OK, so which address should be on that page then?  That's the primary 
source for non-pay membership renewals!
