Newsletter Report

Hi All,

I want to thank everyone for getting the submissions in to Liz on time as you all did this month. I appreciate the hard work, co-operation and teamwork that you have all put forth for the good of our Folk Project. And I especially appreciate Liz for all her hard work and dedication. I know, everyone will continue to expend their energies in an effort to get everything to Liz on time, and I thank you all in advance for that. We mailed out 280 newsletters this month, and expect to mail out about another 10 to 20 when I get the new member stickers file from membership. I had 400 copies printed up. I will be bringing a supply to the meeting tonight and more to the Minstrel on Friday.

We did ok for printing costs this month. We got 20% off . unfortunately the coupons from this month's awards had not yet arrived by the time I had to pick up the newsletters. We’ll get a better discount for January. The 20% discount lowered the printing cost from $332.00 to $265.60 for a savings of $66.40. The postage costs came to $132.00 for 300 Stamps.

Now for the figures for 2010:
