August 1999  - Edition No.61

Before anything else, I must thank Ann and Vi Davies and their helpers for organising the Coffee Morning for Newsletter funds - their continued support is very much appreciated. Perhaps, as it was the third such event that week, attendance was a little low, but quality rather than quantity was the essence, and those who came were extremely generous. Together with sales of the Notelets, the sum of £100 was raised and this has gone a long way to producing a healthier bank balance! My sincere thanks to you all.

Again I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to this issue [they just keep coming!]: to Debbie for her cover [my favourite green frogs!]; to Paul who continues to answer my pleas, usually at the last moment, for illustrations; to the 'regular' contributors and everyone who has found time to put pen to paper and sent in an item. My thanks, too, to Nora and Alan and Sue for distributing copies with the papers.

Items for October will be needed by Monday, 13th September, at the latest, and please let me know if you, or anyone you know, has moved in or away, is sick or has some reason for celebration and congratulation. Items can always be left in the box at the Post Office, at any time, or popped in to Chicane.

Thanks.

Judie - Ed
