Newsletter and Yearbook Group
We do most of our work via email and meet in person once at the start of each newsletter cycle. Times vary according to the availability of team members.
People who serve on the newsletter/yearbook team enjoy writing, keeping people informed, and working with a small group to accomplish this task. The skills we have as a group include writing, editing, proof-reading, recruiting other writers, and keeping track of what’s going on in the community.
We also want to amplify our presence on social media platforms – Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, and YouTube. We’re looking for people skilled in using social media who want to help with our mission.
If you think you might be interested in joining the newsletter group or the social media group, please contact our chair
Current Members: Margaret Irwin, chair; Pam Gates, Tricia Hillner, Sherry Reames, Ken Warren
Social Media Group
