May 2010 "Mill" isue has been sent to members who have paid 2009 member dues.   

Eta Gratama has been so good to step to the plate and provided us with a new "Mill" after more than a year of absence. Eta did it with the good old "cut and paste" method which is very time consuming as you may understand. Our appreciation Eta, for a  job well done! If you did not get the Mill, it is most likely that you dues are not up to date. If you think they should be, please contact the member administrator, Henk Goeyenbier, at (253) 952-0154. Additionally, several Mills were returned do to addressing problems. PLEASE inform Henk when you CHANGED ADDRESS or are moving back to Holland.
