Subject: Newsletter - January 19, 2002


Well, this is probably my last newsletter as RPSIG secretary.  Elections
will be held at the next business meeting, immediately after the officers'
reports.  Nominations are still open, but will close immediately before
the elections are held.
	The RPSIG e-mail newsletter is moving to a new server - within the
next two weeks.  If you want to be sure you'll get a newsletter, talk to
either me or the new secretary after the business meeting so we can verify
your e-mail address.
	The Game-A-Thon happens the weekend after Easter as usual,
sometime in early Aoril.  (The specific date eludes me.)  Matt still needs
volunteers to help at the event, so talk to him or e-mail him at
cliffyqs@earthlink.net if you want to help.
	I'm probably forgetting some important bit of news or information,
but I can't for the life of me remember it.  My head's all in a fog.

that's the problem?

And on that thought, we'll move into
