Sabbatarian singles have connection

BIGGS, Calif.--Mike Kawasaki has announced changes to his Sabbatarian Singles' Connection newsletter.

The newsletter, as the name implies, is for Sabbatarians who want to meet other Sabbatarians of the opposite sex.

"There will be some publishing-date changes to SSC," said Mr. Kawasaki. "SSC will be published once every two months and the master issue once per year in January. You will still be receiving the same amount of issues at the same price, but the amount of time your subscription covers will obviously double. The current plan is to have SSC in the mail at the beginning of the following months: January, the master, and update issues in March, May, July, September and November."
