• The VWC is moving to an e-Newsletter.
• A printed version will be made available for those unable to read the e-Newsletter.
• The VWC will send a test message to all members in January with instructions for confirming email addresses. The VWC will follow up with those members who do not confirm their email address or for whom VWC has no email address.

This Newsletter is our most direct way to keep members informed about Club events, issues and concerns, and has been an integral part of the organization since the first month. The VWC has endeavored to provide an informative, thought provoking and unifying Newsletter for members and for outreach. Ideally, as members read it, they gain insights to the issues that determine VWC actions and learn how to be involved.

Over the next few months the Newsletter will go through long-planned changes in format and content, so look for the new e-Newsletter this Spring. In the meantime, you are invited to share your ideas for improving the Newsletter – making it more relevant, more valuable, to you.

The benefits of the e-Newsletter, a greener, more timely and cost-efficient communication, include important advantages to you, as members. In color, it will be more attractive and readable. More importantly, it will have readily accessible links to expanded information, and, for the first time, enable members to respond, inquire, and provide input rapidly and directly.

• If you have ideas regarding the e-Newsletter, please contact Paul Machlis (machlis@gmail.com).
• Watch for the Test Email coming in January!

(Note: In the future, archived Newsletter issues will be available online, from the very first issue of March, 1978, to the most recent issue; we’ll let you know when they are available.)
