> Dear Reading Hall of Fame Members (particularly those in the UK):
> 
> 
> Members of the Reading Hall of Fame (RHoF) living outside the United
> States are finding it very difficult and expensive to pay annual
> membership dues of  US$25 or the US$35 cost of the 2013 annual breakfast
> meeting.  Colin Harrison, who keeps the Hall of Fame listserv working, has
> offered to receive checks (or cheques!) in UK Pounds, written payable to
> him.  He will then bring a check payable in US$ to our 2013 annual meeting
> for the amounts received.
> 
> 
> Annual RHoF membership dues are US$25 (17 UKPounds).  (Multiple years of
> dues may be paid.)  The cost of the 2013 RHoF breakfast meeting in San
> Antonio is US$35 per person (23 UKPounds).
> 
> 
> If you wish to pay using this method, please provide the following
> information in emails to Colin and Alan:
> Your name, postal address and email
> The name(s) of any guests you may be bringing and paying for
> The total amount sent to Colin in Pounds for annual dues.
> The total amount sent to Colin in Pounds for the 2013 breakfast cost
> 
> Please note: Newly elected RHoF members  elected in 2013 are not required
> to pay for the breakfast meeting, or the first year of annual dues.
> Welcome and congratulations!  However, please do let us know if you are
> attending!
> 
> 
> Send attendance and/or dues information and your payment in UK Pounds to
> Colin at the following postal address:

> Also please send an email to confirm to:

> Colin.Harrison at nottingham.ac.uk

> to receive payments made directly to RHoF in currencies other than US$.
> If you are a member in the Euro zone and can provide similar assistance
> (and are planning to attend San Antonio this year) please let me know.
