Dear Lambda members,

The LCC has expanded rapidly, in both numbers of members and the 
activities we are able to fund. So first, I want to welcome all our new 
members (many of you students). Second, I want to let you know how we 
spend your money.

Thanks to your support, we have recently been able to do the following:

	* Initiate a new award, for a graduate student paper at a major 
conference, the first to be given at the APA in January 2010.

	* Increase our financial contribution to the graduate student cocktail 
hour at the APA. (Bring your friends!)

	* Increase our contribution to the table that we share with the WCC in 
the APA exhibit hall.

	* Institute a prize for Best Costume at the opening night 
reception--starting at the APA in Jan. 2010.

And of course, we continue to do the following:

	* Present the annual Rehak award for a publication in the area of our 
mission.

	* Sponsor an annual APA panel which is always packed to the rafters.

	* Co-sponsor (with the WCC and CSWMG) the opening night reception which 
is THE place to be on the APA opening night.

	* Publish our on-line newsletter Iris (next issue coming soon!)

	* Maintain our website and this listserv so that members can stay in 
touch with us and each other.

	* Provide free membership to students, retirees, and the unemployed.

Many thanks to everyone who has already paid dues for this year. If you 
have not done so,please mail your dues to me at the address on the 
attached form. If you are uncertain of your dues status, email me 
(blondell at u.washington.edu) for an update.

If you are a non-paying member (student, unemployed, or retired), email 
me to indicate that you wish to keep your membership current (please 
include any updated contact information). Otherwise you will be dropped 
from the membership list.

If you are a life member, please email me with any updated contact 
information. You might also consider making a donation to the Rehak 
Award Fund.

Thanks for your support.
