APIC Palmetto News
The APIC Palmetto News, our chapter newsletter, has historically been
issued two to three times per year. Prior to the "electronic age" and
continuing through 2009, the newsletter has been an invaluable means of
communication within the chapter.
The newsletter has been published for 18 consecutive years. The first
editor was Lendon Thomas; Lendon served as editor for 12 years after
moving from North Carolina. (He was Editor of the NC APIC newsletter for
9 years.) Cindy Moon was the Editor from 1999 - 2003; Linda Purvis was
the Editor in 2004, and Tonya Pratt began as the new Editor in 2005.
The APIC Palmetto News is for APIC Palmetto members and can be found on
