I received this announcement this morning -
It's too bad, as I found many of their announcements informative and interesting.

Strange, Ralphie, and disappointing. There has been some good info about the Ford GTs over the years, and plenty of good stuff about various performance and racing cars, as well as good insight to evolving automotive technology. Will be a shame to miss that.
I just renewed my membership, fortunately at no cost. ( Age does have some benefits, I guess.) I kind of got out of cycle with their renewal process, so I'll have to see what kind of info they send me. If this means they will not be publishing any ( print ) automotive product and technical papers, that will be a bad thing. I have noticed their Journal, as well as ASME's get thinner and thinner, and fully expect them to be eliminated in the not to distant future. I am a reader, not a button-pusher, so non-printed stuff is not good for me.

Bill - I am a 35 year member of SAE... But, I still have to pay each year to stay a member... !!
How do you do it ? ie, be a member for free? You must be Special
I receive the hard copy "SAE Automotive Engineering" each month. ( you can choose from several magazines ) or get more than one if you pay for them.
February is 36 pages. It has the article on Gorilla Glass on page 8-10.
I have not seen any notice that they will stop the ''print' edition.
My wife and I sponsor the University of Pittsburgh FSAE race team , support the Science and Technology Forum and attend some of the SAE unveilings (Mustang / F-150/ Superduty next month) that are held here in Detroit.

Andy,
Great you guys are so active. Keep it up! From experience, SAE can be a great motivator of undergraduates.
Regarding "free" membership, it must be old age.

Ralphie,
I think the April date is for the World Congress and Exhibition highlighted in the banner.

Yes - You're absolutely right.
I got another newsletter today, so I don't know where or how that 1st notice came from, as the only thing that I can see is a revision of the format of the newsletters -
