Newsletter Story Submission Deadline

Image
Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Newsletter Story Submission We want to know what's going on in your neighborhood. Do you have news to share? Would you like to see it published on the blog and in our newsletter? Here's how to get the word out... Deadline : Feb 26th (but sooner the better!) EMAIL story/announcement to this email note: Ideally we'd like to include more information in the newsletter, versus a bunch of presentations at our meeting. We hope that this will clear up some room in our agenda, so we can focus on 'getting things done' and getting to know one another on a personal level. (More people receive the newsletter than come to the neighborhood meetings.) Of course we will still have announcements and presentations, but hopefully we can streamline the effort with using the newsletter as an additional tool. And please (!) let me know if you are interested in helping with this communications effort. Thanks, Terah Beth  | visit Mt. Scott...
