Announcement

Due to the increase in printing and postage costs the Academy has found it necessary to increase the membership dues in 1981 to twenty U.S. dollars ($20.00). It is our hope that we can sustain this amount for at least three years.
Members residing outside the United States are asked to remit payments in U.S. funds drawn on U.S. banks. The collection costs on non-U.S. fund remittances have risen sharply in the last year and we can no longer absorb these charges.
