The current edition of the AuSable Acres Reporter is in the mail. All owners for whom we have accurate mailing addresses should be receiving their issue in the next few days. We hope all of you enjoy reading the articles.

We are working on a big change for the next issue which comes out in the spring of 2014. We will be sending the newsletter by email to as many people as we can. This will greatly reduce our postage and printing costs going forward. To do this, however, we need your help. When you fill out your membership form, please provide your email address and check the box at the bottom of the form to be added to our email list. The more people who sign up for this form of communication the better. We will also use it to remind people of upcoming events and meetings.

We may have to remove non-members from our mailing list as well in the near future. Dues are due in January and we ask you to send the completed membership form and your dues check early in 2014. Membership cards will be mailed to you once your dues are received. As you know, the more members we have, the stronger our voice.  It also helps to keep our dues at the current level.  Our dues have been the same since 2006. Can any other organization say that?

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the AuSable Acres Reporter.

Rosemary Barry, President AAPOA
