A Thank-you to Supporters

Most of the Abbey Newsletter's expenses, and those of its companion publication, the Alkaline Paper Advocate, are not paid by an outside organization, but by the 1200 or so subscribers to the Abbey Newsletter, 500 subscribers to the Paper Advocate, sales of back issues and pH pens, and voluntary donations. Last year these donations totalled $3663. The editor and trustees of Abbey Publications, Inc., want to express appreciation for this support, and for the help given in other forms by many people.
