SIP/OEW, L9Y7S Page 122 MEMBERSHIP NOTES In response to frequent inquiry and requests, and purely as an experiment to ascertain the validity of these requests, we have obtained a limited number of membership buttons on a trial order. The number available will supply less than 10% of the membership at this time. Members interested in getting one of these attractive buttons should send $2.00 to the Institute office with their request. We will fill orders until they run out, if they run out, and will then re-order when we are.sure the demand warrants a re-order. If you are interested, send your order in. If you do not receive your button within a few days it is because the stock ran out. We will hold your check until the stock is replenished and will immediately mail when that time comes. If demand does not werrant our re-ordering and we are unable to fill your request we will return your check. If we do re-order it will take about 90 days to fill your request. We are presently limiting requests to one button per member. MEETING NOTICES Members in the Detroit area should have received, before this is pub- lished, a special notice of the annual MEET THE AUTHOR dinner to be held at Harmonie Hall in Detroit on September 14.
