Many thanks for the feedback on the newsletter. We’ve heard that people like/don’t like the font, want/don’t want staples, like/don’t like authorship at the bottom instead of the top… Not surprisingly, there are differences of opinion about these details within our collective. What’s most important, however, is that we’re hearing that folks are finding Xwe’etay News to be a fun and informative read — thanks to all of you.
People told us that we didn’t include authorship on some pieces last month. We will try and pay attention to this going forward as we agree strongly that this is important. In the meantime, we want to acknowledge that the obituary for Steve Lamb was written by Doban, Louis, and Seaborne Lamb, and Diana Mongeau. Our apologies to the family for this omission. It is corrected on the on-line version of the newsletter.
With respect to the font, we originally chose Times New Roman because of its oldish look. But that’s precisely why some Lasquetians don’t like it! As you can see, we’re trying a sans serif font this month.
Some folks have asked to see prior months’ columns and articles. Dianna will post .pdf versions of all past issues on-line.
And finally, although none of us loves that we’re printing so many paper copies of the newsletter, the one thing that most Lasquetians agree on is that they want a paper copy to read. We do want to let folks know that the paper we’re using is Forest Stewardship Council (FCS) certified — meaning the paper is made from “responsibly sourced wood fiber”.
