CLASS NOTICE DELIVERY CHANGE!

We have changed the way we send Journeylevel Class information to you.  In place of the Class Memo that you are used to receiving, you will now receive a postcard.  Different presentation, but the same information.  We have also started emailing this information, so if we have your email address you will get it the same day the postcards are mailed.
Using postcards instead of envelopes will cut our mailing costs by more than 1/2!
