START ANNOUNCEMENT
=====================================

Dear Shipmates:

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 2nd annual Clear
Submarine Film Festival at the Albany-Saratoga Convention on September
16th at 1330 hours.

This fundraiser is designed to raise money for our library and general
fund while providing a venue for the Convention attendees to view two
and a half hours of action packed submarine movies not available
elsewhere on this planet.

Films will include a pre-1960 feature length film, some 1950
television episodes, some Navy produced, and submarine training
shorts-the kind we all cut our teeth on.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the convention.

Your $10 ticket entitles you to stay for the entire two and a half
hours session or just drop in and view a flick for 15 minutes between
tours.

Please send a check (along with your convention registration form)
payable to:

2004 SubVetsConvention
c/o Diane Singleman
425. E Campbell Rd. Ext., Schenectady, NY 12303-4307

>>>>> Note from Diane Singleman - Registration Chairperson:

Checks MUST NOT be made out to the USSVI Charitable Foundation.

Checks should be made out to the 2004 SUBVET CONVENTION.

We will be reimbursing the Foundation for all those who have
signed up for the film festival with us.

If you have any questions.....

ITEM-07 .... ELIMINATE DATA GUESSWORK
===================================================================
SUBMITTED BY:
SID HARRISON    webmaster@ussvi.org
===================================================================
Eliminate the guesswork...

Hey folks please identify what your position is when sending out
contact USSVI info changes.

For example... DO NOT send mystery info worded like this:

"My new e-mail is zeke@whome.net

Thanks
Zeke"

It leaves me scratching my head wondering whothehell is this Zeke
anyway.

I don't have that good a memory so that I can know every member by
name.

So puh-leeze plug in some other useful landmarks (in the SUBJECT line
or in the MESSAGE) such as YOUR BASE; your position in that base etc.
.... you know, just some of that good old commonsense stuff that will
assist me in making your changes.

It would be a big help guys. Really. No kiddin'.

Thanks

Sid - USSVI Webmaster
