AT FIRST LOOK
Here is your first all-electronic CKF news. Let us know how you like the format, you should be able to print it out from your browser. They say that you're never so alone as when you're dying or when there's a newsletter deadline. It's true, so true, but here's what we've gathered from other newsletters and one or two items that you sent us. We're now gathering information for the next newsletter and when we accumulate enough we'll "go to press".

UPCOMING EVENTS

Other Events
Most upcoming events are listed on the CKF egroups calendar, note that yahoo has bought out egroups and you will have to go to http://groups.yahoo.com/convwiz to link your egroups signup with a yahoo id. Sorry about that folks, it's the price you pay for a free service. It seems pretty slow to me, let me know if you have problems.
