The Quarterly Release was a publication designed for use by local Women's Missionary Society/Augustana Lutheran Church Women officers, and division and department workers. This publication contained important directives and needed information for those working at the local level of the WMS/ALCW. Dolores Runbeck, WMS Director of Promotion, was in charge of the publication. It was an eight-page pamphlet published four times per year beginning in September 1957. As a result of the new publication, bulletins that had been mailed to Teen-Age and Children's leaders were discontinued. This change occurred because with the publication of The Quarterly Release, division leaders, including those for Teen-Age and Children's societies, would receive information regularly. Two issues each year would contain information and directives for Department chairpersons. Included in each issue was a message to local presidents, information on new resources available, suggestions for division leaders and department chairpersons, sections on membership, service, and education, news about the mission periodicals Mission Tidings and Lutheran Women's World, and a page for leaders of Children's and Teen-Age divisions. The last issue was published in November 1962.
