<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just received the fl=
yer for
the California state conference. I was impressed with the layout, co=
lors
and hard-hitting, sparkling appearance. I especially liked the pictu=
res
of the various speakers. It really made me consider
attending. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I wonder if a similar =
mailer
for the national in Rochester would generate more interest from our member=
ship
than the same old, same old dull-as-a-doorknob flyer we've seen in the
past? The cost might be more, but perhaps the increased
attendance would offset that. Or am I speaking out of
turn......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> P.S. Pictures of autho=

articles in the Journal would be welcome also. It would enable =
us
all to get to know each other better. (My own opinions).
