I pray that all is well with you & yours in this new year.
 
I personally miss doing the newsletter and I hope that you can assist me with 
the successfulness of the "re-launch" endeavor I will be attempting.
 
My current idea for the relaunch is to revamp the newsletter from the start 
and have specific monthly columns contributed by you.
 
For example:
 
Anthony - Computer Tips
Doris - Recipes
Eva/Ernestine - Family History info.
Libby/Clint - Bible Lesson, scripture readings, etc.
Celeste - Motivation & Inspiration, etc.
Jerry/Janell - ????
Tricia - Event/Party Planning tips
Neville - ????
Joetta - ????
 
I think if there is a balance of 50% family content & 50% day-to-day life 
content and if it contains contributions from our Elder generation as well as 
our younger generation, it would appeal to everyone.
 
The column topics that I mentioned above for each one of you, are just "loose" 
ideas I had.  By all means, you can contribute whatever your heart desires.  
However, I believe the topic you do choose, should be pretty consistent every 
month.
 
If you do decide to participate & contribute, the only painful part of this 
process that I see on your behalf, would be writing your column & submitting 
it to me by the deadline, which will be a SET-DATE every month.  I will take 
care of EVERYTHING else.
 
I would like to RE-LAUNCH the newsletter early February (yes, in 2-3 weeks) 
and based on the responses of interest that I receive from you, I'll know how 
realistic & doable that is.  
 
I know that each one of you have a life and are busy on a daily basis.  But I 
can speak from personal experience, and tell you that your column 
contribution, should take no more than 1 hour of your time on a monthly basis.
 
Also, it's my understanding that the next family reunion will be held in 
Louisville, KY in 2009, right? The sooner this information is communicated to 
everyone, the sooner everyone can start making their plans on being there.
 
So, I look foward to hearing from you with ANY & ALL ideas, feedback, 
inquiries, etc. that you may have.
 
Hugs & Kisses to all......
