Dear Friend,
It's only a few short weeks until we meet in-person for the first time in three years at ASA 2022 in San Diego! We sincerely hope you are able to join us for an annual meeting packed full of activities. If you are unable to join us at Point Loma Nazarene University, please consider participating virtually. For details on virtual events, click here. The ASA loves to share exciting and important accomplishments by our members. Whether you have a new book, receive an award or are featured in an interview, podcast or article, please let us know at asa@asa3.org. We want to share the good news with other members who also rejoice in your success! While the summer is a slower time for our local chapters and affiliates, be watching our online calendar and future NewsNotes as activities ramp back up in the fall. Many events continue to have online participation which allows access to a wide range of interesting topics so if you hear of something that other members may like, please share that with us at asa@asa3.org as well. Hope to see you in San Diego! Joyfully in Christ, The ASA Team: John, Vicki, Lyn, Becky, Dana, Michele, Hannah, and Mark
