We’re Sad The Newsletter typists are
sad and frustrated that members
of the community are not contributing NEWS to the
newsletter. This lack of information has led to newsletters with very little content and the typists wear the brunt of community negative comments. News information is included free of charge. We print notices and advertisements for community groups and would love to have follow up photos and information for inclusion in the newsletter for the whole community to enjoy. Sporting Clubs why not use the newsletter to advertise events, provide competition results, and provide photos and information to share with the community. Families often celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. Why not share your photos and celebration with the community through the newsletter. Let’s work together to improve our newsletter by including community information from all areas of the community. Email your news to [email protected]
