If you are reading these words, then you DID remember to renew, else you would not be on our mailing list! If any of your friends should m en tion that they have not received this issue, however, you might tell them that the problem may be resolved by sending us a renewal payment... As noted above, our January Theme Slide Night will feature the same topic as last year, not only because there are many more photos of governmentowned ferries, tugs, service, naval, coast guard, etc., ships out there, but also because our Theme Night last winter was snowed out and very few members got to see the slides that were brought by those who managed to reach the meeting. So get your thinking caps on now in preparation for what should be a very interesting evening. By the way, in case weather should appear to threaten any of our upcoming winter meetings, members may phone the Programme Chairman, Gordon Turner, at (416) 762-3130 on the day of the meeting to confirm whether the meeting will proceed.
