[csaa-forum] a hello from your new publicity officer

[Buettner, Angi]

Hi Greg,
Thanks for this feedback. The question of whether we need a print newsletter or not in future is probably something we can discuss at the next AGM. Me personally, I really like the newsletter and what it can offer as such and different from what the list offers.
Best wishes,
angi
