SP ACE Newsletter !! Special Issue !! Newz from the Prez Augllst of 1°192 Member·s of SPACE, great things are at hand, This month is the 1'affle for the color TV and boombo>: that is supposed to raise the money for the Bob Puff raffle, Then tor the September, Mr, F!ober-t P1.\f f ~ill indeed be addres~ing our club on the current issues in the ATARI 8-P.IT comm•.mity,

I was able to locate a relatively ine>:pensive meeting room and hotel accommodations for Mr, P1.1ff, Our total expenses now come out just slightly under $600! Just think if we could sell all the raftl~ tic!cetG we printed, make a great deal of profit on thi !i arrangement,

I am once again encduraging everyone to continue to sell raffle tickets, Please remember that it was you, the membership, that suggested selling raffle tickets as a way to raise money for this club endeavor, I wish to share a little bit of news with you, My father took 3 ticket books to work and sold all of them in one day, 30 tickets in one day, There is $60 on my desk that my dad earned for our club on his lunch hour, While I don't expect everyone to sell 30 tickets, I am hoping that all of you could sell at least 5 tickets, Many of you reading this newsletter will find 5 raffle tickets enclosed, PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO SELL THOSE FIVE TICKETS, If everyone made $10 for this club, we would easily be able to make enough money for Mr, Puff' s visit ,

I cannot emphasize how important it is for everyone to attend the ne xt meeting, Number one, it will be the biggest raffle this club has ever seen, Number two, we will be selling additional raffle tickets at the door, Numbe r three, we are going to have a special DESSERT NIGHT at this month's meeting! I would encourage you to bring friends that have purchased rattle tickets or other fri ends that wouldn't mind spending $2 to help our club out, This will be one of our top meetings of the year, PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO COME TO THIS MONTH'S MEETING, It is the last opportunity we will have to discuss the Bob Puff visit before he actually arrives,

Now I have even mo r e good news for you, Back in May when we were planning budgeting Mr, Puff's visit, we projected a figure of $900 for the overall e xpense, Due to wonderful efforts by Earline Fitzpatrick in finding ine xpensive ai r fare tickets, we were able reduce the figure considerably,

I am very excited at how smoothly everyt hi ng has proc~eded so f~r. Please be a part of it, Please attend the August meeting, Please sell yo ur raffle tickets, Please support SPACE, Your president, Nathan Block

NEXT MEETING: AUGUST 14th Raffle and Dessert Night!!
