Dear Readers. We need your help on one small thing.  There is no cost to you for this eNewsletter and our website, Topretirements. To return the favor we are asking you to spend less than 5 minutes filling out this brief survey. We'll use the results to try to improve your experience here.  That's one reward, but an even more tangible benefit is the drawing we are having for 3 free copies of "101 Best Outdoor Towns", a book we think you will enjoy. The survey is limited to 100 respondents.  Put your email or phone in Question 9 so we can contact you if you win one of the books. Thanks.
