4. NEWSLETTER
----------
Ross Ziskind has successfully restarted the Unigroup newsletter and is the
current newsletter editor. Keep an eye out for the next issue (assuming you
are on our US Mail mailing list).
To keep the newsletter going, the two biggest problems to overcome are:
a) Volunteers to see that it gets out
b) Content material
If you have any ideas or can help contribute to our newsletter, please make
them known at our meetings and/or let us know by EMail. If you know anyone
who has experience in sending out a newsletter, we can always use some good
advice. Ross can be reached via email to editor@unigroup.org.

I hope to see you all at Unigroup's July 1995 meeting...
