Hello!  I’m the new managing editor for the Spectrums Newsletter!  Our goal with this newsletter is to “broaden horizons, enlighten, share wisdom, and exchange ideas”.  We certainly worked hard to find the best articles that might transform your life or give you great new ideas.  I have my two editors and tech guru to thank for much of the work that you see here.  Our meetings took place at the CopaCafé in Lexington, and not only did we pour coffee, but we poured over all the wonderful articles we received.  As an added benefit, we got to know each other much better.  Our group picture was taken in front of the red curtain at the CopaCafe.  From left to right are Terry, Janet, Me (Suzanne), and Christine. I hope you enjoy this newsletter as much as we enjoyed creating it.  Please direct any comments or questions to me at: Suzanne@thelookingglassgroup.com.

If you would like to submit an article for future newsletters, please fit the content into one of the categories listed on the left, and aim for approximately 500 words in length.  You may submit articles to me at the e-mail above.  The next edition is scheduled to release in September 2004. Due date for submissions is July 15th. Click here to see the call for papers.
