EDITOR'S NOTE:
First, my name is Chuck, and I feel we need a newsletter for several reasons. One is to spread word about us and our avocation. Another reason is to educate both ourselves and others, and to build interest and friendship in the club. And, if I can, the newsletter will be mailed out before meetings to remind us that indeed we should be here. Also, and this may be one of the more important reasons, I hope to exchange newsletters with other clubs in the state and perhaps Georgia--to broaden our base of ideas and activities.
I envision YOU providing the material in the newsletter. Right now it must be handed to me--preferably typed. Later, I can get my computer modem fired up, and we can electronically transfer articles.
Some subject ideas....
Book reviews. Up-coming activities, sky events and calendar. Who's Who in the club. Photography hints. Computer programs and information. Observing tips. Astro-electronics. Equipment reviews. Homebrew ‘scope making column. Tutorials. First hand reports of activities. Maps to star parties. And, YOUR ideas. And advertising.
At present, the major cost will be postage (22 cents). Paper and printing will be little if none unless we get lots of members. If you want this, submit articles, cartoons, sketches, ideas, ads, etc to....

PS: We can even format it to be three-holed punched for keeping in a note book.
NOTE: If we elect to do this, the banner will be done right, and it'll look more like a newsletter!
Signed, C. S. Broward
