Welcome to the latest issue of the MCH newsletter. It is filled with many exciting articles, but I just want to highlight two of them. At the Annual Meeting this fall, the MCH Section will be holding a special business meeting on Sunday, Nov. 6, to give all members of the Section an opportunity to meet the APHA leadership candidates and to comment on proposed policy. Please plan to come. See the article on this special session below.

We are also pleased to include in this issue of the newsletter the speech given by Bernard Guyer in 2003 when he received the Martha May Eliot Award. We thank the MCH Journal for permission to reprint Dr. Guyer's remarks, and we urge the membership to subscribe to this excellent journal.

The deadline for the fall newsletter is Aug. 15, so if reading all these exciting articles inspires you to write about your own activities, please make sure you get us the article by then. Send newsletter materials to our editor, Clare Feinson, at <cfeinson@erols.com>. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this issue.
