Want to start or renew a subscription – Please read this information!!<br />
Important Reminder – Some of the discounted membership and advertising rates are increasing effective <strong>April</strong> 15,<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. The changes were summarized in the March magazine, and will also appear on the <strong>Northwest</strong> <strong>Chess</strong> website. For<br />
the memberships/subscriptions, the increases are in the three-year, junior and tournament rates. For advertisements,<br />
the primary change affecting tournament organizers is that TA-style ads (the ones usually appearing on the back<br />
cover) will now be $25 for two months for all <strong>Northwest</strong> Grand Prix events. (Organizers can still choose a larger<br />
display ad instead.)<br />
Current members are allowed and encouraged to renew at the old rates before <strong>April</strong> 15. New subscribers, including anyone receiving<br />
a sample copy at the Larry Evans Memorial tournament in Reno, are also welcome. (Your state membership is<br />
included if you live in Washington, Oregon or Idaho.) You can mail a check or money order or use PayPal online<br />
at http://www.nwchess.com/nwcmag/MemberApp_PayPal.htm. (Please address mailed payments to my Oregon<br />
address on page 2, and make payable to <strong>Northwest</strong> <strong>Chess</strong>.) Thanks!<br />
If you received a free sample copy of this magazine at the Washington State Elementary <strong>Chess</strong> Championships<br />
(<strong>April</strong> 20 in Vancouver, Wash.), and if you’re a new junior subscriber, I will still accept the old rate ($17 annually<br />
plus sales tax) until the end of <strong>April</strong>, so please act fast! Don’t forget this includes a Washington <strong>Chess</strong> Federation<br />
membership, which you’ll need to compete in the upcoming Washington Open in Seattle Memorial Day Weekend!<br />
