"We hope that this newsletter will

the field. We also hope to receive significant contributions from the Israeli
Ministry of Education as well as other officials/educators involved in
the field of Teaching English at all levels." From
the Editor, Issue #1 EIETONE, May 11, 1995
Since our five-member editorial team published its first cooperative endeavor last March, we have enjoyed the opportunity to produce a quality on-line newsletter for ETNI members here in Israel and throughout the world. But, as often happens with labors of love, each of us has multiplied our professional (many of them volunteer!) commitments. In order to bring you the same quality in a timely manner, WE NEED YOU!!!! So take the plunge....pick a column...volunteer an article...and JOIN US!!! You will not only have your name in print, but have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of editors that are doing their best to make English and cyberspace synonymous terms. And for those of you who are newbies...remember that we all started out that way! No better way to learn than working with a group of dedicated volunteers. All of us on the editorial team can credit some of our growth from sharing our experiences and knowledge with each other. OK...got your mouse ready? Just click on the e-mail address next to the column that strikes your fancy....and join a great group of people whose job it is to share with colleagues. In order to get more News to you, we need
more Editors and volunteers for the following columns. If you are
interested, get in touch with the person noted next to each column, or
