The Los Angeles Council, as mentioned in our January e-Newsletter, is changing the way we impact Mother Earth. Throughout the year excess paper is printed and distributed only to be thrown away again.

As a result, we are limiting the distribution of the print edition of The Wanderer to those HI-USA members who do not have an email address. HI members who receive The Wanderer e-Newsletter will now receive a PDF of the print edition each time a new newsletter is published. If you would like to receive the print edition of The Wanderer as well as the e-Newsletter, please email your request to erin@lahostels.org or call (310) 393-6263 x28.
