By 1960, mimeographed sheets were being sent to members to acquaint them with the Club agenda, special news and lists of new members.In 1968-69, the Bulletin, which was now being printed, offered advertising space for the first time to commercial firms (preferably to American firms related to the Club through members) at a rate of Dfl.5O.00 a year for a full page.The Bulletin acquired a new cover -- a stylized American woman's head against a stars-and-stripes background, which was to remain a familiar emblem for more than ten years. Private classified ads were now provided free to members, and at a cost of Dfl.2.50 to non-members.

The Bulletin itself had undergone a transformation in September. It was now a professional 8.5 x 11 inch magazine in which its first editorial emphasized the fact that through its advertising, it was completely self-supporting.

In November 1979, the Bulletin editor left suddenly and was replaced by the business manager; and in January 1980, the Bulletin returned to its smaller format.

By the beginning of the 1981-82 year, the Bulletin cover was felt to no longer be representative of the Club, and a new design was chosen. This cover first appeared on the Bulletin of April 1982.

In the mid 1980s the Bulletin was renamed Tulip Talk and again was replaced by the larger format. The cover design changed yearly and then monthly.

Today, Tulip Talk is a self-supporting monthly magazine. With a volunteer staff, it publishes a coveted magazine filled with relevant articles for our membership.  Like the mimeographed sheet first sent out nearly 40 years ago it is an invaluable source of information regarding all our activities.
