prepare them using funds you have sent
to us.
6. The Postal Service changed
Rates
effective January 22, 2012. The one ounce rate increases to 45 cents.

step remains at 20 cents. If you send SASE's we suggest you purchase
"Forever"
Stamps which will
handle one ounce postage from now to forever. Hard to believe
but it is true.

Bureau please confirm
during your
QSO that
they will QSL

During December 2011 we made a "Year End Clearout"
and mailed card(s) to those
members for whom we hadn't mailed any cards for a year.
Funds furnished by fellow members of FISTS were used for these mailings.
