Greetings,

The VMTRC is embarking upon a new approach for communicating with our colleagues, students, and friends. This is the first edition of the VMTRC – Tulare Newsletter. Our desire is to share information about all of the new and exciting events and activities taking place at the VMTRC as well as providing a way for you to know more about us and what we do.

This newsletter will also provide an opportunity for you to share with us. Our VMTRC website ( http://www.vmtrc.ucdavis.edu ) features a blog page where you can post your thoughts and comments.

On behalf of the VMTRC, I hope that you enjoy this newsletter and find it useful for learning more about the VMTRC and our activities. Please feel free to share the newsletter subscription information with others. (http://www.vmtrc.ucdavis.edu/blog/?page_id=400)
