The Donation Dash

Going Forward is produced through donations from readers—both in terms of articles and dollars. We have an Olympic event when it comes to articles and letters, and you see the result in the thick issue that you are currently reading. What we need are some dollars to keep the information track in running shape. Going Forward has no set subscription rate because we believe that every member who is interested should have access to information; however, a few dollars for support of printing and postage could turn our donation dash into a long-distance marathon of Mensa communication. Checks should be made to GF Treasurer Don Taylor with a notation that they are for Going Forward. (Address under "Pathfinders.")
