Hey, I've got you beat. From the minutes of the 3rd Friday meeting in
January 2005:

"Sam moved that the club pay Ernest to buy Jack Chalker a card, which we
will all sign at the next meeting. The motion passed."

So, I must have missed it when it arrived. I wonder what other mail I
never got?

As a side note: doesn't WSFA have the position of  Corresponding
Secretary? Does it want to consider creating that post?
