It's a new look to go along with TERA's new delivery system (Constant Contact) for the e-letter. During my stint as temporary editor of the e-letter we've decided to experiment with some different styles and formats. This particular format is uses a standard template (provided by Constant Contact) with colors and logos adapted by Scott Bogue (TERA board Member) from the TERA website. We hope you enjoy it! And don't be surprised if something looking quite different arrives next week!  Michael Tharp, President
