I'm writing to send you the newsletter for July. This month, we’ve made significant strides in various projects and received generous community support. You can find it here:
The newsletter has expanded this month, with all the suggestions I've received from the trustees and volunteers. If you get the chance, please let me know what you think about the (long) length, and which articles you enjoyed, and I'll use your feedback while I'm putting together next month's newsletter.
