 ------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the first issue of VicHealth-Info.

This mini publication is a forerunner of VicHealth's planned expansion
into the virtual world of the Internet

Do not be alarmed though.

It will not take up extraordinary amounts of space on your hard disk.
Our purpose is simply to provide information on the progress of
VicHealth's Electronic Health Promotion Outreach Program and prior
notice of any significant VicHealth sponsored event. Please note that
we are not ready to sponsor any extensive discussions on Health
Promotion just yet.

You cannot subscribe or unsubscribe to this newsletter in the usual
ways as this is not a properly resourced electronic mailing list. This
newsletter will notify you when the mailing list server is up and going.

If you would like to nominate someone to receive an electronic
copy, please send e-mail to [log in to unmask], include
an e-mail address and we will include that person on the list.
