ECCR Monthly News Bulletin – June 2019

Dear Members,

Welcome to the ECCR newsletter.

We are planning on using these newsletters as a way of communicating with you more regularly to inform you on what is going on within the Society.

This has been an exciting time for the ECCR as our leadership works on new initiatives and plans for the Council. As a start we will be keeping our members well informed of activities through these newsletters. These newsletters will be a format for communications between our members and the ECCR leadership.

We look forward to receiving any news items or information that you would like to share with us through the newsletter.
