Newsletter Report

I regret I will be unable to attend the meeting tonight as I have a family obligation to which I must attend.

I want to thank everyone for getting the submissions in to Liz on time 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 also want to thank Joe Petraitis, who for the last five months has been helping me prepare the newsletters for mailing. We mailed out 311 newsletters this month, four more than the previous month. I had 400 copies printed up, including an additional 400 inserts. I will be bringing a supply for the to the Minstrel on Friday.

Our postage costs this month were $132.00. We did well for printing costs this month. We got 20% off plus I used additional coupons I had collected. This lowered the printing cost from $295.68 to $201.40. That's an ok savings; however, on last month's report I noted that for this month I won't be getting an awards discount beyond the 20% and whatever coupons I can dig up.

Thanks to all of you,

Carl
