Editing this newsletter over the past year has made me very proud of the members of the MCH Section.  Not only do you continue to submit interesting, well-written articles on a wide variety of topics of interest to the MCH community, but you get them to me on time, which is greatly appreciated. 

I encourage you all to think about submitting an article for the next newsletter -- consider writing up your latest project or publication, publicizing your cause, posting job opportunities, summarizing interesting newspaper and journal articles, or reviewing a recent book.  I don't think I have ever turned down an article, and there is never any charge. 

The APHA deadline for the next newsletter is just before the Jewish High Holidays, so I would like to get the newsletter done a little earlier, since that is a busy time for me.  Send any articles by MONDAY, SEPT. 5, 2006, to me at cfeinson@erols.com.  (You can certainly send them to me earlier, too!)  And if you have any questions, you are welcome to call me here in Washington, D.C. at (202) 302-1823.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you then.
