bulletNote: The Navigation structure for past Newsletter issues has changed. The newsletter (newslett.htm) page has a direct link to the current newsletter (click on the headline).  Below that is a navigation bar with oval buttons for home, up, archive, and one for each edition for the present year (click for the issue you want). Click on the archive button to see other past issues.  That will give you the ARCHIVE.htm page.  The first issue of each chapter year is listed.  The first issue (usually September) has a navigation bar for the rest of that year's issues.  Many of the issues have been loaded in a form that allows searching from the search box in the left margin.  However, many of the Newsletters are posted as pure images, and these cannot be searched (Go and read them.).

bulletA "search box" has been added so you can search the content of the Newsletters and archives.  The search box appears in the left margin.  Page theme songs will not start automatically (hit "play" Songs may not work with some browsers).  For those using Mozilla to avoid the Microsoft Internet Chaos, the Quick Time player software comes with a player for the themes that also has a volume control, and this works fine with Mozilla.

Note: The morons are using bots to submit using the Comment Form.  Therefore, until I figure out how to use optical human verification software,  the feature will be disabled.  Please make your comments and suggestions the old fashioned way.  Send them to prestonoidaol.com.

bulletNote: The automatic e-mail links of these pages are disabled and the "" which denotes an email address is an image.  We regret any inconvenience this may cause.  This will make it more difficult for data harvester bots to snatch our e-mail data.

Be sure Secretary has your current e-mail address.

ASSELA will not share these e-mail addresses with anyone!

We welcome your comments, questions, or suggestions.
