Always excited to finish a project–even though this one comes around fresh each month with a new issue. I’ve been doing the Sierra Club’s newsletter for several years now and it is one of those projects that I really enjoy being involved with–lots of interesting information to read and sort through when deciding what fits. When I started, the newsletter was mostly filled with national, and even international, news. As it has grown and become more a part of the Alabama Chapter, more and more people now contribute to each issue to the point where (other than a little short filler here and there) it is almost entirely about Alabama and the Southeast.
Best of all, as I was finishing this issue up, I got a great compliment sent my way:
“I wanted you to read the message that a long time Sierra Club member sent when she mailed the clip out card regarding improving fisheries management to Gov. Riley.
She sent a Sierra Club card (with an adorable sea otter on it) and the clip out regarding fisheries, the card read:
I’m using this clip out message to Governor Riley to express my appreciation to all who produce the splendid “Alabama Sierran” newsletter. It is the best publication ever and I always enjoy reading it from cover to cover! The message to the governor is an example of making it easier to contact officials which I don’t always do on my own. As a long time member who is not able to be active thanks for keeping me informed.“
That was pretty nice.
