Current Newsletter - February 2012, Volume 21 Issue 1
This current newsletter marks the end of an era. After eleven years this is the last issue of the WRNMMC Prostate Cancer Newsletter distributed in hard copy via the US Postal Service. Starting in November 2011, the newsletter went completely "digital," by being posted exclusively to the CPDR web site.
The WRNMMC US TOO Newsletter started as an eight
page publication intended for the military prostate cancer community
in the Greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It grew rapidly under
the leadership of the late Bob Zveare, the founding editor. Initially
printed in 200 copies for local distribution, it is now printed in 1,900
copies with distribution far beyond "the Beltway."
The Newsletter is produced and distributed quarterly without charge
to the expanded readership. Corporate grants and individual donations
from the readership provide the financial wherewithal to sustain the
operation. There are no paid employees. Instead, the Newsletter relies
on volunteer effort from within the WRNMMC US TOO board of directors
for its operation. The respective staffs of the WRNMMC Urology Service
and the Department of Defense Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR)
also provide support and encouragement.
