Beginning in November, the Monthly Newsletter will be merged into the current Weekly Updates. The Weekly Update will continue to be sent to all MailChimp subscribers and will be posted in the BRARA BLOG under the CATEGORY of Weekly Updates. Why is this happening? Time, there is not enough of it and the Newsletter is a duplication of the Weekly Update. Those items that are on the Monthly Newsletter missing from the Weekly Update will be rolled into the Weekly Updates such as Silent Keys, New Members, and Census Statistics. This has already begun and you may access the Weekly Updates by viewing our BLOG CLICK HERE
