Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
|
This issue marks 5 years since the Eye on IPBA was born! That's 60 issues lovingly prepared and sent to you each month by the IPBA Secretariat.
Reaching the age of 60 is a special time in Asia! Known as "hwangap" in Korea, "kanreki" in Japan, and "jiazi" in China, it signifies one complete cycle of the zodiac calendar, and when a person reaches this milestone he/she is reborn and begins a new cycle. We therefore take this opportunity now to renew the Eye on IPBA! In April we introduced the new IPBA logo, which is featured above (upper left). To match better with this new image, we've also changed the logo of the Eye on IPBA (upper right). We will also change the issue to be sent out at the beginning of each month instead of at the end. New features may be added from time to time, too.
Of course, this writer of the Eye on IPBA must also be reborn, becoming younger to keep up with the new IPBA. Yay!
