FISCAL FACTS REGARDING THESE PUBLICATIONS

With a declining membership, a mailing membership of 484 persons (see Secretary/Treasurer Report in the Aerograph), it feels that we are spending a significant amount for printing and mailing the Aerograph and the Bellinger List.

Every eight years or so, we must replace the NWSA computer (outdated and overloaded) and the printer (that was not built to be repaired). This happened on my watch. Conserving the funds, to the best of my ability, I managed to complete the task for a total expenditure of approximately $1,020.

Now, we must pay for printing of the Aerograph and the Bellinger List. Last year, I spent $1,070 for printing. The bulk mail permit fee (annual) is $185, plus mailing costs of about $240 (for just this issue).

I understand that we are a living entity and that the Aerograph and the Bellinger List are an integral method of communicating amongst our shipmates. However, there is a less expensive way to proceed.

If you are willing and capable of receiving the Aerograph via the internet, (you must have more than dial-up abilities), the costs associated with each Aerograph will be reduced between $2 and $3 per issue. The few dollars that can be saved doesn’t feel like much to each of us. However in the aggregate, that paltry savings for each member could easily reach into the hundreds of dollars for each issue for this organization.

When you decide to receive the Aerograph via Email, contact the Secretary/Treasurer. Libby O’Brien provides me with a mailing list for each issue.

Respectfully, NWSA Editor, AGCM Charlie Jordan USN RET
