ound that if I take my computer from my desk, where it has internet access,=
 to the sofa, where it doesn't, at least i can spend some time composing e-=
mail even if =C2=A0can't do any web browsing.=0A=0A=0AChris got the boxes a=
fter the March or April meeting when I discovered them at the museum outsid=
e our locker. There was a large plastic one which had all of the billing pa=
perwork, etc and several cardboard ones. One had old curled mailing envelop=
es, one had newer ones. We consolidated these into one box and put the othe=
r one or two in an area that looked like it was for cardboard recycling.=0A=
=0AI'll call Halcraft tomorrow and see if the new ones are finished.=0A=0AI=
f we pay as much for postage for 14 issues outside of Canada as all the res=
t combined, are we charging enough for these memberships to justify the ext=
ra expense? If not, we should review this. As for it all coming on one bill=
, given the size of the invoice forms, there is likely a place on it for "n=
on-publication-rate postage" which is why we get one bill.=C2=A0=0A=0AIt is=
 hard to say if mailing both issues at the same time would save money or no=
t. Unfortunately, the Canada Post web site seems to keep making it harder a=
nd harder to find information. Most mail rated are not done "by the pound" =
they are done per item and for letter mail that is normally done with weigh=
t ranges. (First class, for example is something like 0-30g, 30-50g, and 50=
-200g. So it would cost the same to mail two 75g items in an envelope as it=
 would to mail one.=C2=A0=0A=0A(I'm also not sure how this mailout got "ret=
urned". Was it simply rejected at the post office?)=0A=0AChris, can you cal=
l me at home when you get a chance (472-2322) or give me a good time and nu=
mber to call you. (At least the phone is still usable on your side!)=0A=0AI=
