As AAAP treasurer for the past seventeen years, one of my duties has been collecting the mail each week at our post office box in Carnegie Center.  For many years that was a productive task since members paid dues by check and many new members joined by mail.  In recent years, most members have switched to using PayPal on our web site to join and renew.  Most of the times when I visit the PO box now, it is empty.  In their wisdom, the USPS has also doubled the cost of the box rent over the past five years.

So, along with our telescope clock drives and film imaging, we are saying good-bye to the PO box.  Members who pay by dues (which is still very welcome) should send checks to the treasurer:
