Yes.  The 800 number does work in Canada.

Reflecting on my last posting re the area code change (#1715), I
see that I may have given the impression that *Alcor* would be
footing the bill for any bracelet replacements.  (To save time, I
use the word "bracelet" to mean "bracelet and/or necktag.")
Actually, it's not clear at this point how we will finance such
an endeavor.  It's possible that individual members will need to
cover this cost themselves.

It's even possible that we won't need to replace *any* bracelets.
We may yet arrange a way for the 714 number to continue working.
I'll provide details when I have them.

Of course, those Alcor USA/Canada members whose bracelets bear
the 714 number may want to get a new one which bears the 800
number anyway.  Bracelets and necktags cost $30 each.  Those who
would like to order one need only call me with a credit card
number or send me a check (payable to Alcor, of course) in the
same amount.  These orders have a one to two month processing time.
