Lake Union —In response to current trends and an increased focus on lay involvement and local participation, the management of publishing, colporteuring, and the magabook program has been turned over to the local conferences. Home Health Education Service (HHES) is no longer operational at the union office here in Berrien Springs, Mich.

There are some economic advantages, but greater flexibility at the local level is probably the greatest benefit of this restructuring. It provides for a greater number of people to participate at varying levels. If you would like to be involved in your area, contact your local conference office for more information.
