* Note - As you are likely aware, the name of this newsletter has been “Prez Sez” for years. I’ve taken the liberty to simply call it the HAAA Monthly Newsletter because I’m tired of worrying about the auto-correct on my computer changing Sez (which is NOT a word) to Sex (which is a word). Every month I double and triple check to make sure I’m not sending out the Prez Sex newsletter! While that title might get more readers, I don’t need the stress or the likely resulting email onslaught of porn!! Thank you for understanding.
