Thanks for waiting for the Mid-Summer issue. We hope that all of our members have enjoyed their sum­ mer of marine activities. We are pleased to announce that the 2002 Silent Auction raised almost $3, 100 and that is an all-time record for this event! It will keep mem­ bership fees at their current level, and we thank all those who donated items for sale and also those who purchased them. Membership Fees for the 2002-2003 Season Are Now Due and Payable. Fees remain at $25.00 per annum and we hope that we may count on your conti­ nued support. Enclosed with this issue, you will find a renewal coupon; we would appreciate it if you could send it to our Chief Purser, along with your cheque, at your earliest opportunity. Thank you. In the New Member Department, we extend a hearty welcome to Alcide Doyon, of Victoriaville, Quebec; to Rob McCarl, of Cambridge, Ontario; to Harold McMann, of Toronto, and to Keith Mateff, of Scarborough. We hope that all of you will enjoy your membership in the Toronto Marine Historical Society. * * * * * * * Executive C o m m ittee Jay N. Bascom Roger Chapman Capt. G. O uderk irk R. F.
