2006 has
been another successful year for AGE. Thanks
to your interest and support, we had a
great annual meeting,
excellent papers published in our
journal and were
pleased to welcome many new
members (students, researchers,
government and pharmaceutical
representatives, journalists and others
with a personal or professional interest
in aging research).
For 2007, we
will continue to
serve all our members' interests and,
when necessary, to broaden and deepen
our coverage. Our members and
readers' encouragement and thoughtful
suggestions fill us with pride, but also
remind us of our duty to continue
providing timely and accurate
information about a diverse array of
relevant topics.
We hope you
will continue to send us your comments
and suggestions, read our
AGE Journal,

as well as join us in June at our Annual
Meeting. On behalf of our team, we
send our heartfelt thanks for your
loyalty and wish you and your family a
healthy, prosperous and exciting 2007!
