Plan to attend. * * * * * * * THE EDITOR'S LOGBOOK We are pleased to announce that all of our meetings, October through April, will be held on Saturday afternoons this season. Please note carefully the time. As well, meetings will be held in a new venue, the Town Hall's new "Founders' Room" which is located in the basement level. The room has no windows and hence there will be no light interference with projection. We are using a different font now for the interior pages of "Scanner" to help redu ce the number of pages and save money. Each issue will feature the same amount of material, but on fewer pages. Please pardon our appearance as we becom e accustome d to this change. Enclosed with this issue is the annual Membership Renewal Form. Please re­ turn it with your remittance to our Treasurer as soon as possible. There is no increase in fees this year. We are delighted to announce that the 2005 Silent Auction raised a net to­ tal of over $3, 000. We sincerely thank all who donated items and all who bid on them. * * * * * * * ISSN 0318-014X
