Remaining Active

When is a newsletter not a newsletter When it's full colour and 36 pages long Approximately 8 years ago Began designing what was then An 4 page black and white newsletter It has since grown into this schmaltzy Quarterly full colour community publication I've always taken great pride In every venture I became involved with Now in my years since retirement This exciting project has my fingers back in the pie It has given me “raison d'être” Translated... “a reason for being” My only regret is that it's quarterly And not monthly which I would much prefer It is so very important to remain active Any way we can in our retirement years © Jack Ellison 2014

Quarterly would make it a nice even pace of a job yes? Where as more often = more pressure. Don't bugger up retirement with work pressures...

You go Jack! Unfortunately, the more often it appears... usually the less people can add their articles and help. Hubby worked on a plastic modeling magazine that came out once a month... And finally had to get out as the main publisher... Tho that was several years ago... before new computer publishing programs... So the work was all by hand. But what ever floats your boat and makes you Happy! We're behind you 100%.

I've been through all the phases in my 55 year career from all by hand to today's computer generated publication. The reason I lasted so long was because I kept up and changed with the times! "We're behind you 100%"... thank you dear Carol XOXOX
