3 Progress
3.1 Dues (and bracelets)
Invoices will be posted to Alcor UK late payers shortly. The
posting will also include a request for all members with the toll-
free 800 number on their bracelets to identify themselves so that
new bracelets can be ordered (the toll-free number is only valid
in the US). Note that although Alcor may be moving to a new
location in the near future the old number (0101-714-736-1703) will
still be kept open and calls automatically forwarded.
1[7]93/MCP Michael to send out the invoices and request for
800 notification combined.
New Action.
We are currently aware that Andrew, Steve W, Trish, Alan and Sylvia
have bracelets with the 800 number.
Note also that the recent confusion over the temperature de-
animated patients should be stored at until the emergency response
team takes over is (apparently!) now settled. It seems that either
2 or 10 degrees celsius are equally acceptable (so presumably the
current statement on the bracelets of "...while cooling with ice
to 2C." will be retained, so that all the bracelets are consistent)
3.3 Publicity.
Cryonics was featured in the popular strip cartoon "Alex".
The telephone number in CRYONICS magazine is now out of date (being
Russell's ex residence). The correct number is 0323 460257 (the
facility).
2[7]93/GS Garret to inform Alcor US of the correct number.
New Action.
4 Any Other Business
