The first issue of The USGenWeb NEWS has been distributed to over 1800 project members using a privately compiled address list. (except for ILGenWeb which was sent separately by the SC.) About 300 additional members will receive copies within the next few days as soon as outdated addresses and other non-delivery issues have been resolved. There have been... ...5 messages from people who are no longer members asking to be removed from the mailing list. ...6 messages from current members asking to be removed from the mailing list. ...15 messages from members who did not receive one asking for a copy. ...14 messages from members requesting address changes. ...6 congratulation (in addition to those posted publicly) and 4 suggestions for future articles. Once the bounces have been resolved, the newsletter will be archived at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwpub/ Anyone who did not yet receive a copy or who does not want to receive future issues may write to me at USGenWebNews@cox.net Approval of the motion to allow use of the Official Membership List maintained by the Election Committee will result in a more comprehensive, efficient and accurate distribution of future issues -Isaiah
