Newsletter and Meeting

We're snail-mailing a newsletter this week. Watch for it!
Let us know if there are other people who should be on the list.
We have decided tentatively to send some of the newsletters via actual U.S. Postal Service, since it's often easy to ignore emails (we get so many!) and it's nice to have a paper thing to hold in your hand.

Here, though, is the basic info on the next meeting:
