Dear Essay readers:

This issue of Essay includes many stories on SA and Technology. As of late November there were about 9,000 downloads and over 1130 views of the newly free electronic June Essay. The September Essay has 2600 downloads and 840 views to date. Our desire to be a global Meeting in Print is well underway.

In keeping with the expanded use of technology, the February, 2018 theme is “The Hand of SA Reaches Out.” Have you any experience, strength and hope for us in carrying the message? Let us hear from you at essay@sa.org!

The print edition of SA has fewer pages than the electronic version due to mechanical requirements. We encourage groups and individuals to order mailed subscriptions for those who find Essay easier to hand to newcomers and to use for meeting discussions. Both versions of Essay have Higher Power’s use for our recovery.

Thank you for being readers of Essay!
