A Message from the COPRA Board
The COPRA Board met on January 8, 2026, and reviewed the costs associated with producing the Chronicle. A significant portion of our expenses comes from printing and mailing hard-copy editions to approximately 400 members each month-an issue that affected our financial position throughout the past year.
To ensure the long term financial stability of COPRA, the Board determined that changes to the Chronicle distribution policy are necessary. As a result, the Board has established a sunset date of December 31, 2026, after which printing and mailing hard-copy editions of the Chronicle will be discontinued.
Members currently receiving a printed copy who wish to continue receiving the Chronicle electronically are asked to email copra.members@gmail.com to confirm their email address.
Beginning January 1, 2027, the Chronicle will no longer be mailed in hard-copy form.
Your cooperation during this transition will help ensure that COPRA can continue to serve its members while avoiding an increase in annual dues. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
The COPRA Board
