This month's newsletter contains: * NOT MUCH * THE RAOGK SHOP * THANK YOU * CURRENT STATS NOT MUCH This month is an easy read. The staff realizes that the volunteers may grow weary of our newsletters and might like to suggest a topic or two that you would like to see covered. Please submit your suggestions by sending them to feedback@raogk.org. THE RAOGK SHOP I will mention the two shops we have online, as revenue from sales in these shops do help a little in defraying the cost of maintaining RAOGK's presence on the internet. The RAOGK Logo store: http://www.cafepress.com/raogk?pid=2851439&tid=607 Gift items from mugs to teddy bears, along with magnets and buttons in 2 different sizes. This shop also has our famous (or infamous ) Cookbook. http://www.cafepress.com/raogk.37799377?pid=2851439&tid=607 Do you sometimes feel like your ancestors were beamed down from a spaceship? Then here's a product line for you: http://www.cafepress.com/genealogyforyou/1637557?pid=2851439&tid=607 THANK YOU A great big THANK YOU goes out to one and all who have helped RAOGK to continue to be a presence online. Your purchases through one of our stores or by sending a donation via PayPal or check are very much appreciated.
