The Newsletter will now be a dynamic instrument for dissemination of information. It will have outdated items removed and new items of interest added as they are received. The newsletter will be updated on a yearly basis. This format allows more flexibility for each Associate Regional Editor and the Senior Editor. It also should provide more current information for the reader. This means that each of you should visit the STVM web site and newsletter on a monthly basis to stay informed of the latest and greatest item(s) of interest.
