Dear Colleague, Fall greeting from the ASA home office!
Those of us here in Boston are pretty excited about the Red Sox being in the World Series. I'm so glad we were able to catch a game at Fenway Park this summer before the Annual Meeting. Now that the dust has settled from ASA 2018, planning for ASA 2019 at Wheaton College has begun. In addition, we are delighted about the launching of three new local chapters—in Northern California, in Philadelphia, and at Colorado Christian University. Leslie and I are planning to be in the Philly and Princeton areas in early December, so please join us for one of these meetings. Please check out the rest of this NewsNote for many exciting ASA happenings taking place around the U.S. and Canada. Joyfully in Christ,
Vicki
