The Flyer goes electronic!

If Paul Revere were a Y-Flyer sailor, you would hear him yell, "Color pictures are coming! Color pictures are coming!" as he sails through the night on his Y-horse.

I am pleased to announce, effective immediately, a high resolution, color version of the Flyer is now posted to the AYFYRA web site at http://www.yflyer.org/YFlyerInfo_Flyer.aspx

Beginning with the July edition, we are asking as many members as possible to opt for obtaining the Flyer electronically. Just so you don't miss out, once a new edition is posted, you will receive an e-mail notification of the posting and the web site link so you can start reading the class happenings before the postman can get out of his jeep.

The e-mail notifications will be sent to the e-mail address we have for you on file as published in the latest class roster. If you would like to change your e-mail address, we have also added a place on the AYFYRA web site for you to easily update your profile information.

Now, before all you old timers like Rusty and Craig get in a huff, we will still print and mail you a black and white hard copy of the Flyer, if that is what you prefer. In order to receive a hard copy, all you have to do is call or send me a note via snail mail, carrier pigeon, or e-mail, and we will gladly continue to mail you a copy for your enjoyment. Also, if you don't have an e-mail address on file or your e-mail starts to bounce, we will add you to the hard copy list until you tell us otherwise.

One of the biggest expenses we have as a class is the production and distribution of the Flyer. By going electronic, not only can you do your part for the environment, the class will save approximately $1.50 per issue per member. While it is a small number for one, it quickly adds up to monies that can be used to fund other class endeavors. This is a win-win for everyone.

Thanks, Nile...
