1. When and how to renew your IDRS membership: as soon as you receive this third and final newsletter of the 1973 membership year, or until January 31, 1974, you may mail your renewal check to Noah Knepper, IDRS Treasurer, School of Fine Arts, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas 76129 for your 1974 membership. The dues are the same as for 1973 with one addition: if you wish to receive both oboe and bassoon newsletters, add $2.25 to your membership fee. (Make checks payable to IDRS and indicate membership year 1974 - on your check as well.)
2. Changes of address. Please notify the IDRS corresponding secretary, Lowry Riggins, NLU - School of Music, Monroe, Louisiana 71201, of your change of address as soon as possible. We have received a large number of newsletters and Journals marked "addressee unknown." We will mail them again as soon as we are in receipt of your new address.
3. Publications not received??? Because of the ever-present possibility of human error, we may have neglected sending you one or more of the IDRS publications. If you failed to receive any of the three newsletters or the Journal in 1973, notify the corresponding secretary, Lowry Riggins. He will check your name on the list of paid members and will communicate with the necessary parties to assure a prompt mailing of the publications you need.
4. A more active IDRS??? All of us wish we could devote more time to the on-going work of the IDRS. We are all busy with performances, teaching, and the other pursuits of life. However, we will be responsive to the ideas, concerns, and requests of the membership. When we receive communications from members on any subject, we feel the society is really working and progressing. We will keep you informed of all work and thinking more frequently in 1974 by means of the interim memoranda to be mailed between newsletters. Please take the time to write to your officers and editors with your views and ideas concerning the IDRS. Our sincere thanks to those members who have already responded and who have been of such great assistance to us all.
