Newsletter Going Quarterly This Year
The Fort Worth Sierra Club has decided to move from a bimonthly newsletter to a quarterly newsletter. The move has been triggered by finances — the newsletter is by far our largest expense and, although our printing costs have remained steady thanks to our wonderful printer, mailing costs have been rising for a variety of reasons. A secondary motivation is to encourage increased use of our website and email lists for more timely and environmentally friendly communication.
Below on the home page you will find a listing of our upcoming general meetings, news items and announcements. There are two pages on the site that have more extensive lists of hikes, outings, meetings, and other club and/our environmental related events. First of these is our outings page which has a chronological listing of outings, meetings and other events. The second page is our calendar page which has a listing of events organized by type - general meetings, other club meetings, local outings, out of town outings, social outings, and occasionally special events and non-Sierra Club events.
The FW Sierra Club has several email lists you can subscribe to in order to stay informed about club news, outings and conservation issues. Below on our home page there are links to and descriptions of the email lists. Just click on those links to be taken to the subscription page for each list. If you have any difficulty with the subscription process, please send an email to fw.sierra.listserve@gmail.com.
