Help the Mid-Atlantic District save paper!!
In an effort to save paper and reduce postage costs, we have instituted a new directive.
We are now asking our members to read the Mid'l Antics on-line.
The Mid'l Antics have been published on-line for over 6 years,
and are usually posted weeks before you receive your hardcopy at home.
If you would like to do your part to cut District expenses and OPT-OUT of receiving the
quarterly publication, simply visit the Mid'l Antics Opt-Out Settings page
and change your delivery setting. By default, everybody will still receive the hardcopy in the mail.
If you OPT-OUT of your hardcopy delivery, you will receive an email notification that the latest & greatest Mid'l Antics has just been posted.
Anybody may visit the Mid'l Antics Archive at any time to see all of the Mid'l Antics, back to 2004!
