Hi Wade,
Thanks for your interest in finally getting the newsletter out and for your kind willingness to contribute to the cause. I've asked Eve to come up with a cost figure so we can either pay her directly or through the group.
I really appreciate your help in getting this project going!
Dave

Let us know what is needed. I have always paid when I received a dues
