4. NEWSLETTER
----------
Unigroup's Newsletter has been restarted by Ross Ziskind, our current
newsletter editor.
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 at "editor@unigroup.org".
