Over 300 of the 400 copies of the most recent Grapevine were mailed. But now you don't have to remember to pick up your Grapevine or wait to receive it in the mail. You can sign up for the e-Grapevine by sending your e-mail address to Christine Ackermann - admin@shuc.ca requesting to receive notification when the latest issue of Grapevine is on the web www.shuc.ca.
