* LNNAF, poem by Alice Wills
* A Spock Fan's Dilemma by Lance Haskell, fan testimonial in which he "grokked for Spock" ("In short, I've finally come to see Leonard Nimoy as Leonard Nimoy--the man, not Leonard Nimoy--the face. Until other members, like I was, realize that there is a man behind the character He so admire, Spock will be but a passing fancy, with the all-important Leonard Nimoy in the background.")
* a report/fan testimonial by Mrs. Karel Loganhme on "Leonard Nimoy in Vancouver"
* UNICEF and the World, article by Susan Jacobson
* a very short "From the Desk of Leonard Nimoy" note
* info on the 15th Wedding Anniversary Gift of the Nimoys: fans raised $157.50 ("Teresa Victor very graciously helped with the project and sent the following description of the gift selected for the Nimoys: "It is a creakfront--early 1900's period--a bottom chest with bay front in dark carved wood and the top has a beveled glass mirror supported by carved ornate columns; the top shelf has a carved lion's face in front center." This is the first time the club has materially presented the Nimoys with a gift; LN has asked that He contribute to UNICEF in his name instead of sending him something for his birthday or during the hol-idays. I'm sure the Nimoys will enjoy very much their new piece of furniture--our way of saying "thanks" for all the enjoymlent we've received from his performances and for all the help and friendship given to us through the LNNAF!")
* many things for sale including: "Hey! The girl's insane! Help her turn insanity into profits for UNICEF. She'll do an original portrait of Leonard from any photo...or just a portrait with any expression ...with a BIC pen & a 11x14 board. These are $1 each plus postage. You get a pretty darned good picture, the dollars go where it's needed...and she? A bang out of sketching! Oh. She'll draw anything else from a clear photograph for a mere 2.50 plus postage."
