form at your local Randalls or Tom Thumb store to receive a
Remarkable Card. Be sure to specify that a portion of your purchase go
to account number 9850, which is the TSHA account, or, better yet, per-
manently link this account number to your Remarkable Card by filling
out an application available at the courtesy booth (that way you don't
have to worry about remembering the number each time you buy). The
card also entitles you to special discounts on your purchases.
Any purchases you make using your Remarkable Card will qualify.
Each quarter they will send us a check for 1 percent of the purchases
attributed to our account. If you spend an average of $1oo on groceries
a week and give TSHA's number to the checker each time, you will
have contributed $52 to the Association by the end of the year. These
numbers will really add up, in the form of great programs, research,
and writing on Texas history, if we have a significant number of sup-
porters participating.
If you already support another organization with your Remarkable
Card, you can make the switch to link your card to our account, or you
can just add us to your list. You can contribute to as many as three orga-
nizations, and 1 percent of your purchases will be divided evenly among
the ones you choose. Please help us spread the word to other Texas his-
tory supporters!
Perhaps you have read some of the national stories about the sales of
books being down as a result of the recession. Apparently, expensive art
books, in particular, have been hard-hit. While we have never consid-
ered our books to be recession-proof, we have noticed that the sales of
Texas history books do not usually seem to take the same dips that other
books do, even in times of slow sales nationally. And, while it is true that
some of our sales figures have slipped a bit, we published a blockbuster
last year-The Portable Handbook of Texas-that has kept our total sales
figures in line with those of the previous year.
The summer Institute of Texas Studies, June 3-7, focuses on the Civil
War in Texas. Kathleen Rice, director of education, is working hard to
assemble an outstanding lineup of lecturers, field trips, and other expe-
riences to make the homefront war experience come alive for teachers,
historians, and anyone else who wants an in-depth experience. This five-
day course will be offered in Galveston. For more information, contact
the TSHA office at 512/471-1525, and ask for information about the
summer institute.497
