Dear Mound Citizens,

A hardcopy version of this letter accompanied the minutes of the July business
meeting of the Mound City Archaeological Society, which were snail-mailed a few
days ago. Since we don’t currently have a separate newsletter, we must use the
monthly minutes to not only keep a continuous record of the Society, but also to
keep our members up-to-date on our current and upcoming lectures, projects, and
other activities. We encourage you to take a few moments to read these minutes
every month and look for ways to get actively involved in the Society.

Speaking of involvement, the success of specific projects – and the Society in
general – hinges on the participation of its members; there’s little point in
hosting an event if too few people show an interest in attending it. To that
end, we’d like to hear from as many of you as possible about the kinds of
activities you’d like the Society to offer, so please take a little extra time
to complete this brief survey and return it to us as soon as possible, but no
later than Friday, August 31. Everyone who completes and returns a copy of this
survey on or before Tuesday, August 7 will be entered into a random drawing to
win a free copy of the book "What Ifs? of American History: Eminent Historians
Imagine What Might Have Been" edited by Robert Cowley (publisher’s price:
$26.95). We’ll review everyone’s responses and share a summary of the results
during our program on Tuesday, September 4.

There are several ways to return the completed survey: bring it with you to our
next program on Tuesday, August 7; mail it to Vice-President Judy Horton at 3610
Rue de Renard, Florissant, MO, 63034; or e-mail your responses to
survey@....

The plain-text version of the survey is included below, however, a more
printer-friendly version can be found on-line at
http://missouriarchaeology.org/moundcity/surveys/MCAS20070731.pdf (to view this
PDF file, you'll need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free copy of which you
can download at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html).

Thank you for your time – your opinions are important!
