A Request to our many OSL Friends
We are pleased to tell you that we have 330 names on our mailing list, which include both our annual dues members, and those friends we hope will become supporting members. The Board of Directors has approved a change in the way we distribute our Newsletter. For many years we have utilized the USPS bulk mailing system to send the hard copy/paper copy to each address. After weighing the $190 permit fee and postage costs, and the advantages and disadvantages of using bulk mail, we have decided to jointly offer email for persons with the internet, and use first class postage for members without or choosing not to use the internet for our Newsletters. Will you consider using email to receive the Newsletters and occasional announcements? Please email your acceptance to canrichdavies@aol.com. Members who prefer receiving hard copy/paper Newsletters will get their delivery as first class mail. Our web site, www.oldsaintlukes.org includes the full text of a Newsletter, which is useful for repeated reference or for forwarding to another friend of this historic church.
