Many of you told us that the Flip Book format we were using for the newspaper, while neat, is very difficult to read. So, we are trying a new format this month. Please tell us what you think!  Email newspaper@yopnetwork.org with your comments.

For September, we are spotlighting some of our favorite articles on topics that our membership has identified as important to them. Simply click on the links below to read each individual article.

You can look forward to additional new content from our team of writers next month!  And for those seeking answers to questions about living with YOPD, be sure to sumbit your questions to our "Ask Mel" column: AskMel@yopnetwork.org.
