[AISdiscuss] Circulation Assistant

[bfilardi@comcast.net]

Hi again:  I think the idea of a "Circulation Assistant" or simply "Bulletin Circulation Liaison" or similar is a great idea.  That would be a person who could collect data and liaise with our rep at the mailing service, who can in turn pass on info to his own contacts at the post office.  This is what I had in mind when I asked for a volunteer to collect data.  Let's hear from those who might be interested in taking on this responsibility!  Thanks, Bruce
