December 2001 ~ Vol 6

Our Winter issue find us grateful for many things great and small. Our membership has grown and we appreciate your on-going support. The world has changed drastically since our first issue; the events of September 11 and their aftermath have shown us the importance of living life as fully as possible.

Revel in the presence of your loved ones and the rituals that bind you, as the holidays are the time for drawing families near.

Wishing you the merriest of holidays,

The Editors
