Thousands Cheer
This marks the inauguration of the newsletter of the Lytle Creek League of Conservators. We anticipate that the newsletter will appear monthly. The purpose of the newsletter is to inform interested parties of the planning underway in the League and the programs we undertake.
We view the newsletter as a community organ. Input is solicited from any interested party on any subject within the League’s mission. Indeed, this issue contains contributions from at least four persons. We are looking not only for written contributions, but for photos and other graphics, as well.
Please direct submissions, as well as comments and criticisms to the editor, Bob Powell, at rdp1710@gmail.com. If you insist on using snail mail, write to us at 1217 N State Route 134, Wilmington, OH 45177.
Newsletter available online
LCLC has both feet firmly in the 21st century and as such, we have taken steps to establish a web presence. The newsletter is being published simultaneously on the World Wide Web at lclc.wordpress.com. This is essentially a blog format, but it offers sufficient flexibility to do most of the things we want to do and the price is right; i.e., free.
We will never be able to sell stuff through this site or to host clever Java applets, but for the time being at least, it should meet our communication needs quite admirably.
In fact, the online version of the newsletter offers several advantages to the hard copy version. We can afford to do color, and we can use more photos. We can also include live links to other sites of interest and links to interactive maps.
It is possible to configure the web site so that multiple contributors can have direct access. If you foresee making regular contributions, you may want to take advantage of this and avoid having the editor make a hash out of your piece.
Opting for web-only access
We encourage our readers to choose to read the newsletter on the web. This will mean a substantial savings in materials, copy fees, and postage. If you agree to do this, let us know by e-mail at the address given at left, and we will drop you from the newsletter mailing list. You may continue to receive other important mailings from the board in the future, but even most of that information will also appear on the web site.
