*Restarting the Empathy Circle Newsletter*

Greetings

I am restarting our newsletter. This is for people that subscribed on our
website or have had personal email contact with me. Apologies in advance if
you don't want to receive it, please unsubscribe here.

It's been quite a long time since I sent out the last newsletter. The

*Below are some latest accomplishments from the Center for Building a
Culture of Empathy
