This Sunday, we'll be issuing an official call for a new round of volunteers to serve on our board of contributors.

The current board is completing its first year of duty. By the time their year is up, each will have written three commentaries for the paper about matters of particular interest to them -- from health care and taxation to big-screen movies and teaching Buddhism in prison.

I hope you find the idea of adding your voice to the Sunday Perspectives section appealing. If you do, check the Sunday paper for a fuller description of the duties and rewards of joining the board, as well as instructions on how to apply.
