+ | == F. Questions about the [[NSC]] == | ||
+ | # How do you justify raising everyone’s fees to pay for the elite few who can attend the National SCRABBLE Championship? <br /> We don’t, because it’s not true. [[Chris Cree]] signed the six-figure contracts necessary for a Players Championship to be held in Dayton in August 2009, long before we ever heard of NASPA. [[Hasbro]] has kindly allowed us to rename the event the National SCRABBLE Championship, but the budget remains unchanged and is similar to that of the 2007 PC. | ||

+ | == G. Questions about newsletters == | ||
+ | # Does NASPA have its own newsletter? <br /> The NASPA [[Newsletter Committee]] is developing a budget and production schedule for a newsletter, which will likely be launched in January 2010. The monthly two-page electronic [[NASPA Bulletin]] debuted in April 2010, is restricted to NASPA members for the first of its publication, and is a free download thereafter. | ||
