Say yes to joining our listserver, and save FILAASMO some money.

Postage is going up to 45cents on January 22, 2012. Postcards will go from 29 cents to 32 cents. A mailing to 200 FILAASMO members and relatives easily cost us $100 to $150 per mailing. We want to save on postage on invitations and other news and have explored e-mail as a means for delivering invitations and information to all of you.
The only cost of an e-blast is the time of the volunteer as there is no printing or postage involved.

We will only announce events/invitations and short 1-2 page newsletters.
