eMatrimony News Flash
October 7, 2007

Dear Lovers,

We published the first eMatrimony News Flash September 7, 2003. With the exception of the News Flash scheduled for September 19, 2007 we have provided a News Flash every three weeks. I (Jack) have enjoyed this challenge and the opportunity to serve the WWME Family as the editor for eMatrimony.

My work load has nearly doubled in the past two months and the chance of this slowing down is not in the near future. I am faced with a choice between my time commitment to our Local Area and Section or my time commitment to eMatrimony. After months of prayer and discussion with Karen and our National Leaders, Tony & Cathy Witczak and Fr. Emile Frische, we have decided it is time to step aside as the editors of eMatrimony. We have been told eMatrimony will continue with a new format soon to be unveiled, so I will continue, as time allows, to send articles and archive materials from the old Matrimony and Spirit magazines to eMatrimony but I do not have the energy or time to continue as the editor.

I want to express extreme gratitude to Ralph & Jane Becker who worked with us to develop eMatrimony and who have been a constant source of encouragement and dedicated loyal web masters. Without their help and expertise eMatrimony might still be just a dream. Thank you Ralph & Jane you are wonderful!

Other articles this month include:

Under News - Convention there is a correction and apology to the author in the article WWME Celebrates 40 years with CPR-CORRECTION.

Under News/Section/Local, the article Detroit Deacon Formation Weekend reminds us to love and support our deacons and their wives as they serve us in their ministries. We also take a glance back at the summer just past in the two fun articles MA/RI Area WWME Experience Had Something for Everyone and Take Us Out to the Ball Game.

Under Resources/Community Pillar we are offered suggestions on how to find documents, presentations, brochures, and resources helpful to you and to your local WWME Communities in the article Community Pillar Electronic Resource Library (ERL) Map.
