The Society for Venturism is reactivating its efforts to change the way the world thinks about human mortality. (Over the years there have been 350 people who have been Venturist members but our lack of meaningful activity has allowed our membership to dwindle - we are not about to change that). We are inviting you to join us and make a difference in the chances for physical or biological immortality in the human race and perhaps in yourself. Here is what we are going to do and how you can participate: 1. We are going to introduce ourselves to radio and TV talk show hosts and volunteer for our members to be interviewed about our views about cryonic suspension and the prospect of immortality. 2. We are going to produce a magazine about the prospect of physical immortality and cryonics as a possible way to get there. We hope to build this magazine into a vehicle that can be sold in public newsstands and bookstores. 3. Later, we are going to build a community where like-minded immortalists can live together. Even later we will add a retirement facility so that immortalists/cryonicists can come and retire in an environment where others will help watch over their friends and protect their friends' wishes. How can you be a part of this? 1. Join the Society of Venturism now. It will cost $12 for the rest of this year. You will recieve the new magazine when it comes out. There may be 6 monthly issues in the balance of 2003, starting in July. It may turn out to be the case that we can't deliver quite that many, but eventually we will be turning out one per month. 2. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Society for Venturism to help us underwrite some of our costs. 3. You can submit articles to our magazine on various subjects having to do with cryonics, physical immortality and such. Send those to assistant editor, John Grigg at: If you have any art that would be suitable for a magazine cover, submit that. 4. After you become a member you can volunteer to be interviewed on radio and TV to discuss cryonics and the prospect of immortality. Here is how to join: Send check for $12 for 1/2 year membership to: The Society for Venturism 11255 State Route 69 Mayer Az 86333 Be sure to include your name and address and any other information you want to share.
