(This message is intended for members of the IDA who have elected to receive notice by email that our newsletter is available online. If this does not describe you, or if you wish to receive a paper copy of your newsletter rather than this sort of email message, please contact mailto:admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx) Dear IDA Member The June 2003 issue (#54) of the Newsletter of the International Dark-Sky Association is now available online. You will find it at http://www.darksky.org/newsltrs/50-59/nl54.html The newsletter is also available as a PDF file, which will print better than the HTML version. You can download that file by visiting http://www.darksky.org/newsltrs/newsltrs.html and clicking on the appropriate link. Thank you for your support of dark skies, your membership in the IDA, and for helping the organization save mailing costs by participating in the Type N (email-notification) newsletter category. The IDA announces a new feature to our website. New or renewing members can now process their membership donation online! By offering this new service, we are able to save our members time. No need to fill out a check, find, address, stamp an envelope, and mail your new membership or renewals. These donations are processed online through a secure transaction service (Verisign). You can see that the payment is being processed from a secure site by noting the gold lock at the right hand sign of your screen. More information about this process is available at http://www.charityweb.com/cw_donors.htm#online. ************************************************ Tim Poulsen, Newsletter Editor International Dark-Sky Association http://www.darksky.org poulsen@xxxxxxxxxx 208-275-6632 (fax) ************************************************ For membership questions and information please contact: IDA Headquarters 520-293-3198 520-293-3192 (fax) admin@xxxxxxxxxxx
