The Board voted to save money and send our membership guide as a PDF (portable document file), which everyone with any kind of computer or other device can open.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. This version is missing some member profiles (1 or 2 are outstanding).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3. The profile information was provided by you all -- our members -- so it should be accurate unless something was dropped in the layout process. I did edit some profiles to fit on pages.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4. When the next version is completed, we will get a cost for producing hard copies. Members can request them and pay for the printed versions. (If you all have a problem with this, contact President John and he will work with you on it).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Finally:</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Think of this as a "living" document that can be easily changed and updated as needed.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The next version will have photos, updated profiles and corrected information all around. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Because of the size of the file (nearly 50 Megabytes with photos) it would have been too big to email. I will reduce all the photos (there are about 60) so the next version is small, but colorful and brings our club and members to life. I hated to strip them out because it was really beautiful with the photos and great portraits by Guenter of our members.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best Regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bruce</div></body></html>
