We have decided to go for a slimmer look in our monthly newsletter;
    instead of all the recurring threads, we’ve provide a map.

Please feel free to forward this newsletter to friends you think would be interested. We appreciate all your comments, this group wouldn’t be as fun as it is without your participation! If you have any feedback / suggestions, feel free to let us know below :-)

Happy Reading!

*This newsletter is a recurring feature, making it easier to notify you of all the new, exciting things going on in our group for the month and a central place to keep track of any carry-over challenges and discussions. As always, this is a joint effort by your moderators, Gisela, CaroB, Susan, ShoSho, and Lisa Kay.
