TELESCOPE Page 118 MEMBERSHIP NOTES e@ The large number of new memberships we've enjoyed has created a situation that we aren't happy about. We always get a few late renewals, in spite of all pleadings to the contrary. This year, some of the late renewals. .and new members from here on in to the end of the year, won't get all the issues of Telescope for 1980! We have run out. We could over-order grossly to make sure this didn't happen, but then those we didn't sell would be a loss, and your dues would have to go up. So, to be efficient we try to order as close as we can to estimated need, an estimate based upon early renewals. So, when you get the renewal form on your next issue, don't lay it aside to do "later." Do it promptly, before you get caught up in the Christmas rush. ee eee Co RTS cali eel es aii Leal nal esec matter aes MEETING NOTICES © The Annual Dinner Meeting will be held on September 12, 1980 at the Detroit Boat Club.
