The E-Sylum:  Volume 3, Number 54, December 31, 2000, Article 11

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS 

   It's been a great year for The E-Sylum and the Numismatic 
   Bibliomania Society.   We ended 1999 with a subscriber 
   count of 265; at the end of 2000 we have over 350 readers. 
   The NBS membership roster contains nearly 300 members. 

   Please resolve to help your society in one or more ways 
   this year.  Small contributions from just a handful of members 
   can  make the difference between an average year and an 
   outstanding one.  Please consider contributing in one of the 
   following ways: 

      1. Write an article for our print journal, The Asylum. 
           Any topic in the realm of numismatic literature is 
           fair game.  I'm sure every one of you has an interesting 
           story or two to share. 

      2. Participate in The E-Sylum;  write a thoughtful 
          response, or submit an interesting research question. 
          Start a new topic related to your favorite area of 
          numismatic literature. 

     3. Promote the NBS and The E-Sylum;  Tell your collecting 
         friends about us, even if they don't actively collect 
         numismatic literature.  We welcome experts and novices 
         alike. 

     4. Give a presentation at a regional or national meeting 
         of NBS. 

     5. Serve as an officer.  Elections are coming up this year. 
         Any one of the present Officers and  Board Members 
         can confirm that service is not an onerous task;  with the 
         availability of email, society business has been carried on 
         throughout the year with relative ease.  We particularly 
         encourage our overseas friends to consider becoming 
         more active in the Society. 

     6. Coordinate a special project for NBS.  This could be 
         any task in which you take a special interest, such as 
         compiling bibliographies, putting literature or bibliographies 
         on our web site, or reprinting classic works in numismatic 
         literature. 

   An organization such as ours lives and dies by the contributions 
   of its volunteer members.  Please make this a year where you 
   resolve to give something of yourself to make your 
   organization the best it can possibly be. 

   Happy New Year!
