As of June 3, 2004 the balance in our checking account
is $5,869.17. A complete report will be presented at the SSPD Business
meeting in October.
2005 DUES
Yes itıs that time of year again. I want to thank
all of the members who sent in dues payments last year. Most of
the membership was one to two years behind in paying dues. As
you can see from the checking balance, we need all members to
keep up with dues in order to maintain a reasonable balance in
our checking account. If you have questions about how much you
owe in dues, please contact the Secretary/Treasurer Joe Porter
(jporter@vcu.edu).
Please send your check payable to SSPD in the amount
of $20 for your 2005 dues to the Secretary/Treasurer, Joe Porter.
If you did not pay your 2004 dues, please make the check out for
$40. If you have been delinquent in your dues for longer than
you care to admit we are offering a special amnesty period
simply pay for 2004 and 2005 (i.e., $40) and you will be a member
in good standing once again. The dues are the primary source of
income to pay for the Web Site and the annual meeting so we need
all members to stay current in their dues. THANKS!!
WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST SSPD MEMBERS!

Lifetime Contribution Award to SSPD Member
A long-standing member of SSPD made an excellent
suggestion to resurrect the Lifetime Contribution Award for an
individual member that has made significant contributions to the
study of the stimulus properties of drug. For example, Donald
Overton and John Rosecrans received such recognition in past years.
We would like to take some nominations from the membership for
individuals that should be acknowledged. Please forward your nominations,
suggestions, or comments to Ellen Walker (ellen.walker@temple.edu).
