Hey, team, how's autumn treating everybody? Though fall has always been my favourite season hands down (I love the smell), I have to admit that I'm enjoying this one even more than usual. I wonder why that might be. Anyways,

(I'm not trying to be a smart-butt here so bear with and humour me a little...) Instead of a news-letter, why not a AJL, 3-times-a-year, news-paper? I really like getting the newsletters. I've saved every single one over these last 13 years, but even I have had to recognize that I rarely re-read 10-year old newsletters no matter what the organization might be (except for maybe Pomegranite Guild Jewish Needlework club which has some really cool patterns for tora scroll covers and petit point tallit bags...), especially if I can find the articles in the AJL web page. Rarely do I take the vintage issues out for some light after-supper pre-bedtime reading. On the other hand, I like buying newspapers, too. Mostly because they are multi-purpose items. I cut articles out of newspapers and keep them in folders. I read all the advertisements and do the sudoku puzzle. (an Atlantic Monthly-style, jewish library puzzle might be fun). I save newspapers for up to 2-3 months and then when there's enough I recycle them or turn them into papier mache puppets or other manual arts projects, re-line the canary's cage or use them for draining the oil from falafel and Januca sufganiot. The news-letter could be printed as a news-paper with book adverts, chapter news, blurry photos of smiling persons, an opinionated column or two, ya di ya di da.... And if you want to save them, you can do that, too.
