The all member email dispatched tonight regarding the mailing of BALLOONING had a minor omission. It should have read as follows:

The Board, in its efforts to save money during these tough times have elected to do away with the (polybag) mailer for the magazine, which was a large expense to the organization, and will not affect the quality of the magazine itself.  In addition, we have determined that the BFA will enjoy a benefit of  joining the "Going Green" efforts with this decision.  Membership efforts are under way and everyone is asked to join the Board in spreading the word amongst fellow balloonist to bring them back to the BFA, if they are not a current member.  Remember the BFA is your organization, working for YOU, the balloonist, to further our sport." We appreciate your help!
