Dear Alan,
 
The Southwestern Malacological Society doesn't have a newsletter as such.
What we do have is just a meeting notice, and even these and the meetings
themselves are not at any regular times.  We no longer have a central
meeting place, but meet in members homes.
 
We, like many other groups, have gone down hill as we have lost members due
to old age and death.
 
Carol Skoglund
