So what are we up to?

It's been a while since I've posted here, personally. The team are as busy as we've ever been. And, there's still a few things we are holding up our sleeves for release soon; Good things we hope.

The latest Friends of Hope newsletter is due out in April. The annual Alumni Reunion happens in July and before that the Big Hope Youth Congress in early June. There are some truly great speakers to come listen to. To find out how to get involved just contact us in the usual way and we'll fill you in on the detail.

Other things such as a much improved email service for our members, a more featured web site and events calender are in the pipeline.

With the addition of Katie to the team (see 'Hello from Katie'), working alongside me on alumni information management, we're able now to look to realising some of the developments that have been languishing on the back burner for some time: Progress has been steady; We've handsomely cleaned up our mailing list so that we are not now sending out mail to lost addresses anymore but it also helps to keep our printing and postage costs down, which of course leaves us more to use for other things.

I hope you have all been getting the f@h Bulletins regularly, and that they are proving useful. It shouldn't be too long now before we are able to reintroduce the bi-monthly f@h e-newsletter, as a way of keep you up-to-date on Graduate Association and campus news.

In the meantime don't forget if you ave any articles you want us to post up for you, either here or in the printed newsletter (news, events, desperately seeking, comments etc) then just email or call us and we'll sort it out for you.
