CURE memberships will run from January to December.  Please check your membership card and send in your dues when your card has expired.  The membership form is on the back page of this newsletter.  Also, it will help us and you if address changes are sent to us, even if it is only a dorm change.  Newsletters are seldom forwarded by the prisons and only returned by a few conscientious ones.
