From: Leslie Kish & Joshua Krekeler ONE NET> Date: 3 jan 1999 Subject: Join the U.S. Shogi Federation! Dear Shogi Players, The United States Shogi Federation is now accepting membership dues. Annual dues for basic membership are $15.00 US. Membership benefits include (but are not necessarily limited to :-) ) a subscription to the quarterly newsletter, a membership card, listing in the USSF membership and U.S. ratings lists, the right to participate in the U.S. championship tournament this spring, and the appreciation of your fellow shogi players in the United States. Plus more to come! Although the organization is designed for the benefit of players in the United States, membership is open to all and we're naturally hoping for broad international appeal. To join, send a check or money order for $15.00 (payable to "U.S. Shogi Federation") to: United States Shogi Federation 369 Lexington Avenue, 25th Floor New York, New York 10017 If you are in the New York City area, see Shigetaka Ogihara at meetings of the New York Shogi Club or write to Fassil Bekele at fbekele mindspring com. Best Wishes, Josh Krekeler, Secretary United States Shogi Federation
