Recently I have been getting requests for hardcopy subscriptions to THE CHURCHWARDEN, despite a notice posted earlier this year saying the paper edition would be discontinued. However, certain readers are persuasive, so here's the best deal I can do:

1. Send your home address to [email protected]
2. Send a donation in the form of a check or money order made out to me, Perry S. Fuller. The Churchwarden does not have it's own bank account, so I can't receive funds in its name.
3. Send nothing if you don't trust me to use the money for postage or printing. Read the newsletter on-line.

The last point is critical. If I don't have your confidence, I don't want your cash. The public testimony of this publication is too important to squander on suspicion. Fair enough?

The Churchwarden's Second Annual Writing Contest

1. Write a God honoring fictional story exclusively about pipes and tobacco.
2. Submit your story to THE CHURCHWARDEN at [email protected] via e-mail format. No attachments, please.
3. The first place winner will receive a slightly flawed, but absolutely unsmoked, Peterson bulldog (St. Patrick's Day 2002, 150, Fishtail).
4. The second place winner will receive two tins of Cornell & Diehl tobacco.
5. The due date for all entries is July 1, 2002. Prize winners will be published in the August/September issue of THE CHURCHWARDEN.
6. The judges are Father Felim McAllister, myself, my wife, my cat and my rabbit. The rabbit's decision is final unless the feline protests by eating her, in which case the rest of us will defer to the cat's judgment lest the same fate befall us.
