Humanists of Utah is going through another growth phase.

For one thing, the newsletter has a new format. The old magazine-style legal pages had their charm, but this letter size is easier and cheaper to print. Besides, it is available in recycled paper, and the more we use of that, the better. We hope you approve.

For another thing, two months ago, we thought we'd have to pad our mailing list to get up to the 200 pieces required for bulk mail status. By now, we have over 200 genuine people's addresses in our database.

It is essential that we make sure our financial base and our organizational structure keeps pace with this thunderous growth in numbers. That takes more insight than I can provide by myself.

That is why I have invited a group of people to participate in the decision-making. That group calls itself the Organizational Committee, and consists of:

• Larry Christensen (Programs)
• Stanley Ford (Publisher)
• Bob Green
• Kent Griffiths
• Greg Hansen (Publicity)
• Anna Hoagland (Treasurer)
• Dick Layton
• Nancy Moore
• Ed Wilson
• Flo Wineriter

This is not a Board yet, because a Board gets elected. At this point, the Humanists of Utah don't know one another very well yet, and elections would consist of strangers voting for people they've never seen before. It is not a closed group, either: you are invited to join them.

--Anne Zeilstra, President
