Attention Family Defender Subscriber:<br />
<br />
Our organization publishes the Family Defender three times per year; you are presently receiving a hard copy of each issue. Starting with our next issue, the Family Defender will be available via electronic subscription, which saves paper, postage, and printing fees. Current Family Defense Center members have the option to continue receiving hard copies of the Family Defender. However, we ask that you contact us by Friday, April 4 should you wish to do so in order to ensure timely delivery of your Spring 2008 issue. (If you would like to renew your membership or join, please visit <a href="http://www.familydefensecenter.net">http://www.familydefensecenter.net</a>.)<br />
<br />
To request paper copies, please email Heather (<a href="mailto:heather@familydefensecenter.net">mailto:heather@familydefensecenter.net</a>) with “Paper Copies of the Family Defender” in the subject line. You may also contact our offices at (312) 356-3202 to let us know your subscription delivery preference. If you do not contact us requesting a hard copy, we will transfer your subscription to electronic delivery starting with the upcoming Spring 2008 issue.<br />
<br />
You can manage your electronic subscription by using this link: <a href="http://www.familydefensecenter.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi">http://www.familydefensecenter.net/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi</a><br />
<br />
You may use this link to change the e-mail address where you receive your electronic copy or to remove your e-mail address from the list.<br />
<br />
Thank you for helping us with our efforts to make the Family Defender more widely available to our members!</p>
