ELCA NEWS SERVICE January 4, 2010 ELCA News Service announcement TO: Recipients of ELCA News Service stories FROM: John R. Brooks, Director, ELCA News Service With the start of new year, the ELCA News Service will make a change in the content of e-mails with news stories. We will eliminate complete, formatted news releases in the e-mails you receive, and instead provide you with a headline, the story lead, and a link to the complete content of the story on the Web site. We're making this change in response to budget and personnel reductions. Thank you for your continuing support of the ELCA News Service. For information contact: John Brooks, Director (773) 380-2958 or [log in to unmask] http://www.elca.org/news
