Keeping you up-to-date
From the President’s Pen
Every quarter, in between Investigator magazines, the President will keep members up-to-date with a newsletter. It will be emailed to those members who have provided their email address and we encourage you to do so. It encourages timely communication and reduces the cost of postage. Of course, if you prefer to receive the newsletter by snail mail we will continue to deliver it that way.
