This year's edition of Between the Lines has a new look that serves up several new benefits for members.

• Our new publication schedule–every month between September and May–will give you timely info about upcoming meetings and community activities, all in one place.
• Our new blog-like format makes it easy for you to express your opinions about any article in the newsletter, about community activities, about any techcomm-related topic you choose. Scroll to the bottom of any article and click the e-mail link at the bottom of each article, or complete the fields in the Leave a Comment area at the bottom of each article.
• If you want a printed copy of any newsletter article, click the Print link just below the article to display a print-ready page.

So you'll know whom to thank (or complain to) regarding the newsletter, this is your introduction to this year's Between the Lines staff.
