NHIMA Newsletters

This page contains the New Horizons International Music Association Newsletters. Newsletters are currently mailed out twice a year to members of NHIMA (individual, couple, group, and planning members). The most current newsletter will be posted here approximately one month after it is available to NHIMA members. Click any season/year combo below to see a short description of the newsletter contents. Click the PDF icon to read the entire newsletter. The newsletters are PDF documents. If you need the Adobe PDF File Reader, you can get it free from the [Contact Information] page. If you have articles that you would like to have included in the newsletter, please send them to [Linda Johnson], the NHIMA Newsletter Editor.

[Note: The newsletters are rather large in size (1-6 MB), so it will take some time to download them if you use a dial-up connection.]
