Dues Increase for Year 2000
  We recieved a letter from NAMA which outlined a substantial incrase in dues beginning in the year 2000. The annual cost of NAMA membership for NMMS members will increase 100% -- from $15 to $30. NAMA will accept renewals at the current price if received before the end of this year.
  The NMMS Board met to discuss the increase and decided to increase our annual dues for the year 2000 to $40, which matches the NAMA increase, but leaves our club's fee the same. Members may renew for next year at the current rate if payment is submitted by December 15th.

September Meeting
        I suggested for the September meeting that members to participate in a show-and-tell, bringing in any recent mushroom finds, talking about what they've found in their yards, or relating a mushrooming story. Reports indicate that this impromtu "program" was a success.
