Chris got the boxes after the March or April meeting when I discovered them= at the museum outside our locker. There was a large plastic one which had = all of the billing paperwork, etc and several cardboard ones. One had old c= urled mailing envelopes, one had newer ones. We consolidated these into one= box and put the other one or two in an area that looked like it was for ca= rdboard recycling. I'll call Halcraft tomorrow and see if the new ones are finished. If we pay as much for postage for 14 issues outside of Canada as all the re= st combined, are we charging enough for these memberships to justify the ex= tra expense? If not, we should review this. As for it all coming on one bil= l, given the size of the invoice forms, there is likely a place on it for "= non-publication-rate postage" which is why we get one bill.=C2=A0 It is hard to say if mailing both issues at the same time would save money = or not. Unfortunately, the Canada Post web site seems to keep making it har= der and harder to find information. Most mail rated are not done "by the po= und" they are done per item and for letter mail that is normally done with = weight ranges. (First class, for example is something like 0-30g, 30-50g, a= nd 50-200g. So it would cost the same to mail two 75g items in an envelope = as it would to mail one.=C2=A0 (I'm also not sure how this mailout got "returned". Was it simply rejected = at the post office?) Chris, can you call me at home when you get a chance (472-2322) or give me = a good time and number to call you. (At least the phone is still usable on = your side!) I'm back at the clinic tomorrow afternoon=E2=80=A6 Pat On May 31, 2010, at 4:58 PM, ulli@dunlin.ca wrote: I have last been to the museum for the April meeting.

Maybe 5 weeks ago? These boxes were clearly marked "NSBS" and contained all the envelopes for = mailing. =C2=A0Pete says there were enough to mail out the next two issues. There was also an envelope containing all the bills of lading, and complete= instructions on the process of doing a mail-out. =C2=A0One of the three bo= xes was marked US and International mail. =C2=A0This box holds our magazine= s for issues mailed to points outside Canada. =C2=A0There are about 14 issu= es, and they cost almost as much to mail as all the other issues together. Pete says he always has some envelopes that are "stuck" from humidity. =C2= =A0He uses a chopstick (plastic) to slide under the edge and carefully open= it. =C2=A0No problem, according to him. Ulli, did you find the three boxes that Pete left? =C2=A0Were they given to= Chris? =C2=A0Chris, if you have the three boxes, do you have the bills of = lading and the instructions?
