In this issue of the Newsletter we feature the proceedings from the meeting of the Working Group on Active B Stars at the 25^th IAU General Assembly held in Sydney, Australia in 2003 July. It turned out to be a very successful meeting that included a business session and scientific program with talks on the evolutionary status of Be stars, Monte Carlo modeling of disks, photometric variability, line profile variability, and Be and  Cep stars in the Magellanic Clouds.

How effective are photometric searches in finding Be stars in open clusters? Since conclusions on the evolutionary status of Be stars and the dependence of metallicity on the Be phenomenon are often based upon statistics from photometric programs, this is an important question that is addressed in an article on a spectroscopic study of NGC 663. Also contained in Issue 37 of the Newsletter are abstracts for 16 manuscripts.

As usual, articles and abstracts will be posted on our website ( http://www.astro.virginia.edu/~dam3ma/benews/ ) as they are accepted. Abstracts normally appear within 24-48 hours of receipt. Please send contributions by electronic mail to: benews@mucen.usc.edu with a copy to dam3ma@virginia.edu either as LaTex or postscript/pdf files. We are now requiring that abstracts be submitted as LaTex files using the template provided on our website. We prefer that illustrations be sent by E-mail as postscript or pdf files, but we can handle most contemporary picture formats.

The editors wish to thank all who contributed to this issue and look forward to receiving your contributions in the future. Please think ahead to our Working Group meeting at the 26^th IAU General Assembly in 2006 in Prague, Czech Republic.

We appreciate the continuing support from the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Georgia State University for the production of the paper edition of the Be Star Newsletter and from the Department of Astronomy at the University of Virginia for web hosting.
