How would you like to receive your free monthly Gazette newsletter? (Please tick one)

___1. My area has a Housing Representative who will deliver my magazine to me. (Ask us if you’re not sure. Housing Rep areas are listed on www.gwic.org and on the back page of the Gazette. This is the best way to receive your Gazettes).

___2. My area does not have a Housing Representative. I will pick up my Gazette regularly at the Morning Coffee/Afternoon Tea. Sorry, we cannot keep back issues of the Gazette at the Coffees/Teas for you if you choose this option. If you will miss both the Morning Coffee and the Afternoon Tea, we suggest you arrange for a friend to pick up your Gazette for you.

___3. Please mail my Gazette to me. I will provide GWIC with ten mailing label stickers with my NAME in English and my COMPLETE POSTAL ADDRESS in Chinese characters, including the 6-digit Postal Code, and 135 RMB to cover the cost of express postage and envelopes. To avoid confusion, we must receive your mailing labels and the postage fee together at the same time. Until then, your Gazettes will be available at the Morning Coffee/Afternoon Tea.
