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.
