As editor of the Weekly Bulletin for the last year or so, it has been my pleasure to serve the club in this capacity. However, given the early transition to my new club president duties - I need help. It is time for a new voice to take over the Weekly Bulletin.
This is an opportunity for someone else to step up and contribute their talents. I may submit content from time to time, but a weekly publication schedule is more than I can handle right now. I'm also open to the idea of re-formatting the bulletin concept to make it easier to produce. Let me know if you have interest. Thanks!
