<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Dear Subscribers,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>NEohioPAL is now in it's tenth year
of providing service to the Performing Arts
Community. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Throughout it's history it has been free to all
subscribers and posters and will remain free. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>Last year at this time I sent out a request
for</STRONG> <STRONG>voluntary financial support and some of you
responded with great generosity. </STRONG></FONT><FONT
size=4><STRONG>Thanks once again to those who have supported NEohioPAL!

</STRONG></A><STRONG>to see the list of supporters.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>There are many costs to run this list: hosting
fees</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=4>, software, equipment and
time. Expenses have gone up considerably as the fees from the
new hosting service (listserve.com) are four times more per year than the
previous service (hostway.com). <BR></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Once again this year, I am asking you to consider
giving voluntary financial support to
NEohioPAL. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Some people have written to me asking to post to the
list what amount would be appropriate. Historically, the contributions
from individuals have ranged from $10 to $100, and from organizations $25 to
$200.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>As you are deciding whether or not to give,
please consider these questions...</FONT> <BR><FONT

organization or career? <BR>Has it saved you money? <BR>Helped you
