If you enjoy writing and have opinions of value you would like to express, submitting occasional short articles for our newsletter may benefit you.
We especially welcome articles from teens, families, and women.
This is an excellent way to build your published writing portfolio.
Once you are a registered volunteer and have made the donation requirement, you will receive an email that provides you with the theme for the next newsletter and the timeline for submission.
