1. Address Updates Needed

When RAC members move and do not send a us change of address notice,
Canada Post charges us for returned mail and members do not get their
renewal notices or their TCA magazine.

So please, when you move, send a change of address notice to RAC
Headquarters, or update your information online at www.rac.ca. Please
include your phone number and email address. And if you know a ham
that has moved in the last year, remind them to make these changes.
