I am happy to present to you the latest issue of the IAP-ID Newsletter ( Vol 8, No 2, July 2005 ). Starting from the last issue the Newsletter is being produced in full colour. I have been constantly striving since the inception of the Newsletter to try to improve and upgrade its form and content over the years. The current issue too is in full colour and I hope this has made the Newsletter more appealing and visually attractive to you.

The Newsletter helps members to keep abreast of the various activities of the IAP Indian Division as well as the IAP. In order to make the Newsletter more comprehensive and current I appeal to all those members involved in various activities of the IAP and the IAP-ID to send their inputs to me so as the relevant material may be incorporated in the Divisional Newsletter.

As the aim is to make the Newsletter self financing as far as possible, I appeal to all members to use your good offices to arrange sponsors and advertisers for the IAP-ID Newsletter. This is indeed a great need for the healthy growth of the Newsletter. The sponsors / advertisers should send their advertisement material and Demand Drafts in favour of Secretary & Treasurer, IAP- Indian Division payable at Panaji (Goa) and send it to the following address: Dr.Francisco Couto, Secretary & Treasurer, IAPIndian Division, 714, La Campala Colony, Panaji 403001, Goa.

I wish you a fruitful and pleasant reading.

Dr. Francisco Couto
Editor, IAP-ID Newsletter
