Nor'wester Distribution Policy

At the NWQ Meeting on December 3rd, 2005, we resolved to update our mailing list for the Nor’wester and to establish other ways of distribution which assure that all members and regular attenders in the Quarter who want to receive the Nor’wester, do receive it in a timely manner.

We are doing this in 3 ways:
1. The most economical way from a monetary as well as an ecological standpoint is to post the Nor’wester on an internet web page, and then send e-mail to members and attenders to let them know when the current issue is available for viewing. This has the advantage of saving postage and saving trees. Additionally then, there would be an archive on the web so back issues with all previous minutes, decisions, and features would be easily available to all.

2. A second way will be to make a mailing of multiple copies to meetings, making them available to members and attenders who may not already be receiving The Nor’wester by e-mail or postal service.

3. Finally, we will use the post office to mail paper copies to those who are unable, or find it inconvenient, to get it either electronically or at the meetinghouse.

If you are aware of any NWQ Members or Attenders who are not receiving the Nor'wester in one of these ways, please advise me:
