As we move forward, I anticipate a continual evolution of the look, as we proceed with our experiment. What you see is the result of a few hundred dollars on new software and many volunteer hours of hard work. Our financially conservative approach to improvements means that it will take a little longer to get where we want to be, so please bear with us. I?ve been reading about how other numismatic organizations are faring through the COVID-19 crisis, and I hadn?t realized how bad it is. Many of them rely on revenue from a sponsored convention for a significant share of their budget, and with these events being cancelled, their finances are directly impacted. You may be wondering how SPMC is doing financially. Our ship is steady. We own no conventions and are therefore not affected by event cancellations to this extent. That being said, it has been on my mind for a while that, for the sake of our long-term health, we need to build a formal giving program. We?ve been blessed with many years of financial support from the National Currency Foundation, a one-time gift from the Eric P. Newman Educational Society, and numerous smaller donations from SPMC members ? see https://www.spmc.org/donors-wall). With those funds and our relatively small endowment, we?ve been able to add value to SPMC membership by investing in initiatives like the Obsoletes Database Project and Bank Note History Project. That goes above and beyond the fine research and articles you read in every issue of Paper Money. I?d argue that dollar for dollar, we provide among the best of returns on investment in the hobby. As we approach the end of the year, I?d like to encourage you to make SPMC a regular benefactor of your charitable donations. Speaking of fund raising, the H.G. ?Bill? Corbin Silent Auction of Paper Money Journals that was advertised in the previous issue is now closed, and realized a total of $807. Thanks to Gary Dobbins for the logistics, including picking up the journals, storing them, and mailing them out, and to Bob Moon for taking and recording the bids. As we look forward to 2021, we very much hope that we can soon return to attending our favorite numismatic shows and conventions. At the top of the list in January is the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) convention in Orlando. As of now, we?re planning to be there with a couple speakers and a membership meeting. That would be great to be back in the saddle again. 2IILFHUV $SSRLQWHHV (/(&7('2)),&(56 35(6,'(17?6KDZQ+HZLWW VKDZQ#VKDZQKHZLWWFRP 9,&(35(6,'(17? 5REHUW9DQGHYHQGHU,, UYSDSHUPDQ#DROFRP 6(&5(7$5
