As announced in another article in this paper, the June 19 Windows meeting will be the last Windows meeting until one or more people step forward to do those meetings. I just cannot do everything.

A few bundles of papers were picked up from my car, but I still had over 1000 papers left over this month. We just cannot print the paper if we don't have people to distribute it.

And even if we had enough people to distribute it, we can't afford to print it, just on membership dues. We need advertising revenue. And with my physical situation I have trouble getting into and out of my car, and I just cannot drive around to all of the stores that might be willing to advertise in the paper. I absolutely have to find someone willing to take over as advertising manager, who will seek out new advertisers, pick up their ads, and make sure we get paid for them. We have a lot of new members who are retired; surely some one in that group, or possibly some combination of them, would be willing to take on this assignment. It should not take a super salesman. When we started the paper I only had to spend the first month or two getting advertisers, and then it just took a little bookkeeping to keep track of them after that. Can you help, or should this be the last issue of the paper? I need help, and I need it now.

Ideally I would like to get a number of new advertisers, each of which would agree to at least a three, and prefereably a six or twelve month series of ads. Advertisers should not worry about prepaying for a long series, based on this article questioning whether we can keep going or not. If we do cease publication, we will certainly refund any money prepaid for ads that will not be run.

Do you want to see an August issue of the paper? Can you help see that there is one?
