We particularly appreciate all your kind comments concerning the CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS feature in the May issue. We received no corrections, so we guess we did it right! Membership Fees for the 2003-2004 Season Are Now Due and Payable. Fees remain at $25. 00 for one last year and we solicit your continued support. If you did not send us the Mid-Summer issue's renewal coupon with a cheque, please do so as soon as possible. Kindly do NOT send it to the Editor; address our Chief Purser, William R. Wilson, 173 Glenrose Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4T 1K7. If you do not renew, this is the last issue that you will receive! Last year, we solicited the members' thoughts on whether the December meeting (like January, February and March) should be held Saturday afternoon rather than Friday evening. We received only three replies, the results being incon- clusive. The Executive Committee has decided to try it anyway to see how it goes, so please mark your calendars accordingly. * * * * * * * Executive Committee Jay N. Bascom Roger Chapman Capt. G.
