Year of Forests

Dear Reader,

This is the 42

issue of Rainbow Stamp News. And with this issue it completes 3 ½ years of publication. During these forty months I tried my best to provide you good reading material on various topics of philately. But now I feel that Rainbow Stamp News has reached the saturation point. To present it in a new format with more features, your valuable suggestions are required. So please send your feedback and advise what new features you would like to see in the forthcoming issues. I shall try to publish more articles of your interest on philately. Your contribution and suggestion can make this newsletter moreinteresting and useful for all. In the interview section, usually I select distinguished personality from the field of philately. But if anyonelikes to express views related with the philatelic field may write to me his/her collecting interests and achievements in philatelic field with brief profile. I will send questionnaire for the interview. It is my pleasure to share the views and opinions of philatelists of various interests from different states.The year 2011 is being celebrated as International Year of Forests .The theme chosen for Europa 2011 is

also “Forests”, which coincides with International Year of the Forests declared by the United Nations.

stamps on „Forest‟ theme are being issued all over the world and we expect a beautiful stamp from India

Post too in the global celebration of International Year of Forests.

This is all for this month……..

Till Next Month…Happy Collecting

…. Jeevan Jyoti
