Since we're on the subject, I might as well make the announcement since I have a break from the first part of the received logs.

At some early point in the new year, after we get the party results for this years party done, we will be rolling out the new Party website with some significant Party changes.

One of the first, and most apparent changes to the party is that the requirement for mailed in summary sheets will go away. You all will be able to email the summary sheets to the paqsolog at nittany-arc.net address. I suspect that will make a lot of people happy, and perhaps get that log submissions up from that 50 percent level.

Next change will be that we will be doing is to have our promotional items available in an on-line shopping cart. We will also accept PayPal and credit cards at the site.

One of the problems I have had with our setup since day one was that the promotionals were always tacked on at the back end. This will change all that. The 2014 Party T-Shirts will be available before the party happens, and you will know what they look like. The same with other promotional items.

We'll also be taking payments for Worked all 67 County Plaques, and sponsorship 
payments.

And yes Hank, we'll still be taking completely voluntary donations. 8^)

p.s. We will continue to take mail-in summary sheets and logs.
