publications are readily available to our members and to potential members. Our new webmaster, a woman skilled in the requisite technology, updates the material as needed. Emails to and from the U N W L A have proliferated to the extent that it is impossible to keep track o f all the information about our organization that is disseminated each day. Information about the U N W L A Executive Committee meetings is sent by email. The editors o f Our Life routinely correspond with many o f their contributors by email. V ery soon, we hope to disseminate our circulars and other materials to our Branches via email as well. This will save many hours o f work and save money on paper, postage and other related materials. While many U N W L A members have taken advantage o f the new computer technology and have become em powered by it, others are hesitant. I encourage these shy and hesitant women to step boldly into a world that will allow you access to almost everything you want to know. This information is at the tips o f your fingers. Use it and you will have the world in your hands. NEWS FROM UNWLA HEADQUARTERS • October 13, 2002.
