Acubriefs Newsletter Volume 3 Issue 9 September 2002 Dear Acubriefs reader, If you have been eagerly awaiting this edition of the Newsletter (we are now about a month behind) I have a favor to ask of you. In January we will be looking for a new sponsor(s) for the newsletter. SEIRIN and OMS have been very generous with their support but are cutting back. In view of looking for new sponsor(s) I ask that you write a letter of support for the Acubriefs Newsletter.
