    > It is time for all people who wish to live in a better world

    > physical immortality. Our initial plans are to help our members
    > be interviewed in the mass media, develop a major new magazine,
    > and to have the membership advantage of sharing our beliefs from
    > the forum of an organization that does not profit when someone
    > gets suspended.
    >
    > We will do the first aim by engaging radio and TV talk shows and
    > offer up Venturist members to be interviewed - long and often.
    > We hope to flood the talk shows and news shows with interviews of
    > reasonable Venturist members who are willing to persuade others
    > to "take the venture to the future." If you remember, we chose
    > the word "Venturist" because a "venture" is an adventure with
    > some risk. That is what cryonics is about.
    >
    > We will spread the cryonics message by building the Venturist
    > Magazine into a publication that can be sold in news stands and
    > will be attractive and informative. Starting with the July 1st
    > issue the Venturist magazine will come out every month.
    >
    > Our unique organization lets others do suspensions and storage,
    > while we concentrate on getting our message out to the world.
    > This is so there is no perceived financial gain for us as
    > cryonics grows. The benefits of our work will go to others.

    > So far we have discussed building the membership, doing radio and
    > TV talk shows, and building the magazine and trying to get it up

    > company gets in trouble; meetings and seminars here at the
    > Creekside Preserve.
    >
    > And in time Ventureville, our cryonics community planned for
    > development in Mayer, will become a reality as our numbers grow.
    > This will not happen overnight, but in time we will have houses,
