[NHCOLL-L:3155] Re: SPNHC website, where is it!

[James Macklin]

Dear Malcolm,

The SPNHC website has not 'moved.' The URL is still www.SPNHC.org
but the site is in the process of being redesigned and updated
and will be ready to unveil in early Fall.

If you have any further questions feel free to contact me.

Best,

James (SPNHC webmaster)
