Welcome to AMEDD Museum Foundation eNews!
Welcome to the inaugural issue of the AMEDD Museum Foundation eNews - a twice monthly email to update you on AMEDD Museum Foundation news and events. These eNews offerings will help keep our members and friends up to date between our normal quarterly Monitor newsletters. We trust you will enjoy and find them useful and informative. Please let us know how you like this new format - we value your input to make this new effort valuable to our readers. Share this email with friends!
The Monitor Goes Digital!
In addition to the launch of the Foundation eNews, our quarterly newsletter, The Monitor, is going digital. For many years, the Foundation has printed and mailed our newsletter, The Monitor, to friends of the AMEDD museum. The Foundation will begin a (very) slow transition from a paper-only version to a digital (.pdf) version beginning with this announcement.
Printing and mailing a quarterly newsletter costs the Foundation about $8,200 a year. We can be better stewards of your money by moving to the more cost effective e-format. Additionally, we miss an important opportunity to get the Monitor to our younger soldiers who sign up with us on their Saturday visits while assigned to a training class. These soldiers pay their membership fee, receive a commemorative coin, and never hear from us again as they soon move and we are without a mailing address. With the Monitor in a digital format, the Foundation can communicate with these soldiers - who are our next generation of supporters - as well as other visitors who would like to be kept informed of museum events via email. 
And getting the Monitor in a digital format means that you can easily share the Monitor by forwarding it to friends and sharing the stories, information, and goals of the Foundation. We are also currently making contacts with other AMEDD organizations to share the e-Monitor with their members through their email member lists. Organizations like the Silver Caduceus and the Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) have already agreed to participate in this effort to share and support our AMEDD Museum. 
The Executive Committee of the Foundation recognizes that some readers appreciate having a paper copy mailed to their address. To that end, anyone who currently receives the Monitor by mail will continue to do so during the transition. 
You can opt out of the paper copy and go straight to the digital version of the newsletter by providing your email address to Sue McMasters at the Foundation office at 210-226-0265 or via email message at  amedd.foundation@att.net .

You may also mail this information to AMEDD Museum Foundation, PO Box 8294, San Antonio, TX 78208. New subscribers will be digital unless there are special circumstances.
