The
National Newspaper Association Foundation has created the Max Heath Postal Institute to train newspapers and printers for best uses of the mail in a rapidly changing postal environment. It recognizes the work of Max Heath, who
died in July and was an expert on newspapers and the mail. Its first program is set for Oct. 21 with a
U.S. Postal Service presentation, “Liberating your Newspaper from Costly Address Change Notices.” NNAF has a
donation link for those who want to support the institute.
