I hope all of you enjoyed reading the AuSable Acres Reporter that you recently received. 13 newsletters were returned to us and were resent with correct addresses, I hope. We began having return service with last spring’s newsletter. It costs more to do this, but it is important that everyone is kept informed. The newsletter is also on the website.

There is a membership form for the coming year on the last page of the newsletter which I would ask you to fill out, enclose your dues check, and send it to the AAPOA as soon as possible. The 2014 membership cards will be mailed in early January. The earlier we get your dues, the easier it is to plan for the year. I would also ask that you check the box at the bottom of the form to be added to the email list. We are planning to use a service in the spring to email as many of the newsletters as possible in order to save printing and postage costs. Being part of that will also enable us to send out notices very quickly to more people. Thanks.

Have a very happy, healthy holiday season. I hope to see all of you at our events next year.

Rosemary Barry, AAPOA President
