[Editor's note: The Board of NBS has asked me to publish the following note. I have agreed to carry on with my NBS E-Sylum and web site duties, although my term as President will end later this year. With two young children at home, I must cut back, and will not run for an NBS office in 2001.]

The Board of NBS publicly thanks Wayne Homren for all his services to NBS including: President of NBS, webmaster for the NBS web site and Editor and Publisher of The E-Sylum. Subscribers to The E-Sylum who are not also members of NBS, might express their appreciation to Wayne by joining NBS.

His low key plea for membership, as follows, regularly appears at the end of each issue of The E-Sylum. "The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. For more information see our web site at http://www.coinbooks.org/ There is a membership application on the web site. To join, print the application and return it with your check to the address printed on the application."

The cost is only $15/year to North American addresses, $20 elsewhere. Members receive four issues of our print journal, The Asylum. So, readers of The E-Sylum, please join NBS if you're not already a member. We will be glad to have you on board for the year 2001.
