Annonce newsletter 03-09
Madame, Monsieur,
Chers amis,
Jusqu'il y a peu, le CARHOP n'avait pas diffusé systématiquement d'informations sur ses activités, sauf à l'occasion de certains évènements ponctuels (organisations d'un colloque, d'une exposition, sortie d'un livre, etc.). C'est une lacune qui vient d'être comblée en créant une newsletter à diffusion périodique (en principe trois numéros par an).
