EDITORS REPORT: RATE INCREASE MEETS LITTLE RESISTANCE:  Of course it remains to be seen just how much it affects the renewals until we have been in it awhile... I wish you would consider looking at it this way. Now TNS is $30 a year in the US. If you use your free ad, it drops the fee to just $15, divided by 12 months ?$1.25 a month. The former rate by this scale was $1.04; so I have raised the rate by 21 cents sound better. The ad rate adjustment is to try and increase the profit just a bit, if you know printing you know this is a labor of love, but I am dedicated as 224 issues prove and am here to help, just ask. When you say you have nothing to sell with your free 8th page ad, PLEASE don't over look running a "WANTED" ad; people can't help you if they don't know what you are looking for. LIFE SUBSCRIPTIONS:  There are about 6 Life Memberships left if you want one, just $150 with a $50 ad credit, these will close till 100 members sign up again, let me know. JULY AD DEADLINE IS JUNE 19th TNS ON THE INTERNET: It is our sincere interest is establishing a reference point on the Internet where collectors can go for help. ALPCA has the archives and we hope to establish a list of persons who will have the more readily available plates and information to share with not only collectors but also the YOM crowd. If you are interested in being considered your state rep for this project, please contact TNS now STATE PHOTOS WANTED TOO!!! SUMMER HAS ADS OFF A BIT: Just like the past 18 summers this one will be no different, when kids graduate, vacations and the ALPCA National loom on the horizon, ads drop off, thank goodness we have come to expect this. But we're here, each month, every month with the dependable service you have come to expect from TNS Thanks See you in Denver.
