 and the WRAM show to be distributed.  As an example, a 20 page (we usually run between 20-26 pages) K-Factor, printed and mailed out to 135 people is just over $1000.  The bigger the issue, the more likely it is to get to about $1200 for that issue.  When

 members only but that's just something else to consider.  The mailing would be fairly large as well.  The "low res" copy is about 4.5Mb.  The "high res" version would be difficult to mail out due to SPAM definitions and size issues for each mail service that
