We are no longer mailing newsletters and are switching to our web-based platform for all JSSUS news, articles and projects. Membership is free at this time. Please sign up below.
There are several changes to the website. These include a
Newsletter Archive (in progress), adding
Marks Corner to the site (info on upcoming sword shows) and moving some of the articles from the navigation bar to the
Articles page. Please take a look at these changes and more improvements to follow soon.....
