Let me add my encouragement to all to become members of the Germanna Foundation by joining right away. There are many exciting things in the future of Germanna and as a member you will be first to hear about and enjoy the benefits of these future goodies. Also, your membership dues, which are very low, will help sustain the many good works done by the Germanna Foundation. http://www.germanna.org/join.cfm Cathi Clore Frost wrote: > One of the problems with the delay of bulk mail is that the Post Office can > hold items mailed in bulk for 3 days at any place it stops.
