NCAER Resolution on NC Legislative Decision to Close One of the Three Residential Schools: Word document

Friends and colleagues:    

Over the past months some members have expressed concerns about use of their office email systems for the purposes of receiving the quarterly NCAER newsletter.  The September issue was emailed to your private address, if one was provided on the membership list, and was sent via postal service in lieu of a personal email address.  If you would prefer that the newsletter be sent to a specific email address, please forward that information to Kathy Davis (kathyjdavis@gmail.com) so that the correction can be made in the mailing database.  If we do not receive notice of a change, NCAER newsletter will continue going to your address as provided in the membership list from the national organization.   Thank you in advance for your assistance.
