InterConnections to Go Fully Electronic by Summer 2009
March 15, 2009
When the economy takes a dip all of us have to make adjustments. That’s true for the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) as well as congregations. Income to the UUA is down this year and is expected to decline further next year, possibly by 10 percent or more. (See UU World, Spring 2009, page 43.) As a result the UUA is taking several cost-saving measures. One such measure is that InterConnections will no longer be published on paper or distributed by mail.
After this issue InterConnections will become entirely an electronic publication, saving $27,000 a year for the UUA. We won’t print and mail a quarterly newsletter, but we will keep on writing about ways you can be even more effective in the work you do for your congregations.
We regret having to do this, knowing that many of you prefer to read the newsletter in paper form. But the transition to the Web should make InterConnections even more useful and timely. Bookmark our website, and watch your inbox for email updates.
There’s something you have to do to make sure you don’t miss out on new articles: sign up to get an email notification. In that way you will be notified each time we publish something new.
In the months ahead we will be asking your church administrator or other officer for the email addresses as well as street addresses of congregational leaders. That way we’ll be able to send new InterConnections content to newly elected congregational leaders, too.
Please know that the content of InterConnections will not change. It will continue to offer the same relentlessly useful information you have become accustomed to over the last 11 years.
As we plan our transition to Web-only publication, we’d be grateful for any ideas you might have about how we could make InterConnections even more useful. Email Don Skinner at interconnections @ uua.org.
