As you've probably noticed I continue to struggle with the quality, particularly of the pictures. I'm working hard to try to find a suitable, cost effective answer to this problem. I will be contacting a couple of printing companies who have been recommended by other newsletter editors to see what they have to offer and at what cost

The final month for the yearly advertising contracts is coming up in May. I have sent letters to these four advertisers advising them that there will be no rate change and requesting payment for the coming year. To date I have heard from two. I will be contacting the other two within the next few weeks. We have two advertisers that pay on a monthly basis and will continue to do so plus we have periodic advertising inserts from other sources but not on a regular basis.
