REPORTS TO THE MEMBERSHIP NFFF PRESIDENT RICK SNEARY Fellow Members: I want to thank the 150-odd of you who sent in the questionnaire mailed out with the last TNFF. Just like a government, the NFFF needs to know more about its members in order to serve them better. I have before me the tabulations on the question of who is going to the NORWESCON and how. The results have also been turned over to Stan Skirven, who is Chairman of our Share-The-Ride Bureau. Unfortunately, of about 20 that said they were going to Portland, only drive and will have extra room, how about contacting Skirven, so he can put you in contact with other members. It will help you and them both. I also have the list of those who volunteered to do work for the NFFF. The large number is most gratifying, and I assure you that we'll find jobs for you as soon as possible. Or, if you have any project ideas of your own, pass them on and we will do what we can about getting the whole club working on them. I regret to say that it appears the 00 will remain in this mimeo'd format for the rest of this year. Shortly after the Cinvention our former President informed me that a local printer had offered to photo-offset the 00 at a cost only slightly higher than that of mimeography. On his personal assurance that he could handle it, he was appointed editor. The first issue was due out in February. As you know, it never appeared. The reason for this, or what has happened to the NFFF funds held by him, has not as yet been explained, though Sec-Trees Lavender saw him in person to try to clear up the matter. I tell you this so you will know why we didn't produce as promised. I'm happy to announce that Roger Dard of Perth has just been appointed Foreign Representative for Australia and New Zealand. This is the same type of post that Captain Ken Slater is handling so well in England. Dard hopes that by the sale of mint Australian stamps to dealers in this country to build up a credit balance in this country. If anyone knows of any stamp dealers who would be interested in buying Australian stamps at cost, please let me know. I regret very much to say I have accepted the resignation from his post as Chairman of the Inner Public Relations office, of Everett Winne. Ev, in the four months he held the office, did almost more work than the rest of the officers put as his work in getting benefits for new members was of the utmost importance. I hope that when conditions are such that he again has time to devote to his hobby, we will again have him with us... While I regret to see Ev become inactive, I'm sure most of you will agree that Ev Firestone will make an excellent replacement. As head of the Welcom-ers for years, andworking directly under Winne, she knows the job better than anyone else in the club, and I was very happy to be able to appoint 2
