                      KATIE'S CLUB HOUSE
                               
Our regular second Sunday meeting will be held at Katie's club house 
on the third Sunday of the month to avoid a conflict with Katie's 
schedule.  It will be held at 1 P.M. on March 21st.  Additional 
information can be found on the flyer attached to this newsletter.

It has been decided that Alcor Nevada will be charging $25/month dues 
to help pay for a Pizer Tank and other medical supplies.  Please 
bring your money to our next meeting or at least mail in a check!  
                               
                        MERCY AMBULANCE
                               
I called Mercy Ambulance to make a slight change to Katie Kars' 
listed name.  It turns out that none or nearly none of our names were 
in their database!!!  I believe that I have now solved this problem.  
                               
   NEW DIMENSIONS IN CRYONICS: CRITICAL ISSUES FOR THE 21ST
                            CENTURY
                               
Alcor Laughlin decided to officially sponsor this conference.  The 
following people donated $20 each to sponsor the conference:  Katie 
Kars, Eric Klien, Don Laughlin, the Putirkas, and the Searcys.  
                               
                    DOCTORS AND MORTICIANS
                               
It was decided that the best way to find doctors was to contact them 
through personal contacts since doctors normally don't return phone 
calls.  J.D. Smith will have the best chance at accomplishing this 
since he is a doctor.  In addition, I will do a mailing to various 
groups of doctors in the near future.  This mailing list is already 
under construction by an employee of mine.  
                               
Alcor Laughlin is looking for doctors to both 1) pronounce medical 
death and 2) do the stabilization protocol.  
                               
I am doing a mailing to all five morticians in Las Vegas that may be 
interested in working with us, sending a blue book and a letter to 
each one.  I hope to have an update on their responses by the next 
meeting.  
                               
        FEAR OF DOCTORS PROMPTS WOMAN TO REFUSE AUTOPSY
                               
We discussed this Ann Landers column which said "That Nevada law 
demands and autopsy ONLY if the person or next of kin requests it, if 
the person dies under suspicious circumstances, or if her body is 
donated to science." 
                               
The column also said "[It is] suggested that you indicate in your 
will that you do not want an autopsy and make sure your friend, son 
and attorney each have a copy." 
                               
                           PUBLICITY
                               
A mailing to the Nevada inquiry list generated one new person who 
attended this meeting.  A fourth mailing to the Nevada inquiry list 
will be made for our next meeting.
