	Given that Capclave only occurs once a year, I think that we should
advertise WSFA instead.

I believe the Outreach Committee sort of died . . .

My own feelings regarding the subject is that if we want to get readers to =
CapClave then we should go where the readers get their fixes: bookstores & =
libraries.

Perhaps micro-flyers, something bigger than a business card, slipped into =
select sf books at bookstores & libraries ?  Said flyers promoting =
CapClave.
