It will. Jerry Lemler asked me to collaborate on it with Hugh Hixon. I
have obtained an estimate from a printer that Alcor often uses, and have
talked with Hugh about his current projects at Alcor. I have also spoken
to Joe Hovey about the way in which Alcor would mail the item. I am hoping
that its content will include very brief news items about other
organizations, in addition to news of Alcor, which would occupy most of
the space.

I will be paying for the first issue myself, to indicate my commitment.
Since the cost of producing a slim monthly newsletter is low, I am hoping
that after people have had a chance to inspect the product, we may get
donations to support it. I would prefer that it should not be a financial
burden on Alcor.

I hope to work on the content beginning in the middle of next week. I have
not felt any great urgency because my own application for membership in
Alcor is still pending. I would prefer to be an Alcor member when the
first issue appears.
