A Letter from the Editor


Dear Readers,

Welcome to another edition of Reach Out magazine. The Summer/Fall 2,001 edition is behind schedule. My apologies for the lateness. I hope you enjoy this issue. It features several great stories. One such story is "Free Hearing Aids". Millions of Americans having a hearing impairment, many require the use of hearing aids. There is a little know program that provides hearing aids for those who qualify. Whether you or someone you know has a hearing impairment you won't want to miss my article "Free Hearing Aids".

Another article entitled "Take the Oblongs Off", focuses on one woman's efforts to have the TV show removed. Rochelle Howard has started an online petition calling for the removal of The Oblongs on the WB network. The show is an animated cartoon of a dysfunctional family (putting it mildly). Please take a look at the article, you will also find a link to the show. If you agree with ms. Rochelle, please sign her petition and pass it along.

There are several other great articles in this issue. I hope you will check them all out. I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their stories with Reach Out. A Special Thank You to: Dawn Saiger, June Phyliss, Matt Farrow & Rochelle Howard. Reach Out is always looking for stories/articles. Whether you're a professional writer or first timer, we'd love to hear from you.

I'm so excited, Reach Out continues to grow. As of June 23, 2,001, we have over 2,400 members and that number grows daily.
