> CSW TALKS

> I don't know the exact dates for these talks but Kathleen mentioned that

> ISSUES AND CONCERNS
>
> One issue that came up recently is business cards.   It is my understanding
> that the reason the CSW address cannot be used on our business cards
>  is because
> the Center has no mailboxes and therefore cannot receive our mail.   Possible
> ideas:   eliminate any address from your card and when you pass it out just
> mention that your e-mail address is the best way to contact you or put your
> home address on the card and say that you get your mail much more
> quickly using
> that address.   Just some thoughts.  Any other ideas or concerns?
>
> Hope to see all of you at the August 22 luncheon.
