Greetings! 
 
 Welcome to the February edition of the News.  I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions, and I hope you will be inspired to continue making contributions. It strikes me that, in a small way, this kind of dialogue and communication helps us keep some perspective in these weird times.
 
I am beginning to put together a directory for sources of anthroposophical literature (publishers, Canadian booksellers, web archives, etc.), so we can help members and the public find the materials they need.  Please let me know of web sources you have found helpful - or not so helpful! 
 
One more thing:  If you are planning a conference or study group, consider giving me a call before you circulate the reading list, especially if the books are out-of-print.  Then we can discuss the best way to help people to get the materials.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mark
