2010-11 From The editor

The Holiday season is upon us, so there are a couple of important traditions that take place in our Ring at this time of year. Firstly, the annual call for Ring Officers has gone out. If you would like to volunteer your time to help improve the ring, please email Craig (click here). If you are interested in a particular position, mention it in the email.

The second tradition is our annual Christmas Gift Exchange. Craig will be emailing everyone with full instructions, but basically, be prepared to bring a new wrapped magical gift to the December 15th meeting, if you want to participate. We suggest a value of around $15, and it should be something with which you would not mind going home. Also, donations of chips, dips, and nibbles will be gratefully received.

On a technology note, we have decided that our attempt to move to a Google distribution list, instead of the Yahoo list is too complicated and not necessary anymore, as Yahoo's reliability has improved significantly. So you will continue to receive meeting, lecture and newsletter notifications from the Yahoo groups address. Make sure they do not get caught in your SPAM filter. Also, PLEASE do NOT reply to these messages, they do not go anywhere. Make sure you direct your reply at a specific person (email addresses above)
