the November general meeting, please extend a personal welcome to: Shahid Ali, the Nick Abbott Family, Robert Berta, and the David and Truc Delorenzo Family.

   Members joining TVS during November and December pay only their 1999 dues (plus any magazine subscriptions requested). The club membership year runs from January 1 through December 31, and we offer the "two months free" deal every year at this time.


Calling all members

   By now, you should have received a phone call or voice mail from one of the board members. They are calling to invite you to nominate yourself or another club member for one of the officer or board positions. (Also see the club news item on Page 6 discussing nominations.) 

   Additionally, the person calling you  will solicit your suggestions for improved club activities and member participation. If you did not receive such a telephone call, and wish to speak with someone, please e-mail
