Dear ~~first_name~~, 
 
Thank you for your support of sociology and TASA during what has been an incredibly challenging year. We wish you all the best for the final day of 2020 and very much look forward (hope!) to being able to gather together in Canberra for TASA 2021. In the meantime, if you have missed any newsletters this year, you can access back issues here.
