American Women's Club of Hamburg Currents Magazine November/December 2013 | Page 5

EDITORIAL

M essage from the Executive Editor
Dear Readers,
A new era has not only dawned but is reaching toward midday in the publishing world. The age of paperless, digital publishing has
now also come to Currents. This is the last issue of Currents to be provided solely in print.
After much deliberation and discussion, and several polls and surveys of the membership, the Board of the American Women’s Club
of Hamburg has come to a final decision. As of January 2014, Currents is to be issued as an e-magazine. If not all are initially happy
about this, I am sure everyone will be pleased to learn that this development is intended to be accompanied by a substantial decrease
in the membership fees. In addition, the new, electronic Currents will be easily available to all members and to potential members
and other interested parties not as a simple electronic version of what we’ve been printing, but with many exciting new features
possible only with the new format, from all-color photographs ????????????????????????????????????????????????????$????)??????????????????????????????
