Today we are launching a new version of the PRA Newsletter. The goals will be the same – to be engaging, provide information and stories that appeal to residents with a diversity of interests, and help foster a sense of community. It will focus on topics that are of both immediate and long-term significance to the neighborhood.
Rather than being published three times a year in a single edition, individual newsletter articles will appear throughout the year as soon as they are available. A short posting with the subject and a few lead sentences will appear on the listserv, with a link to the full article on the PRA website.
Residents who do not use the listserv regularly but would like to receive an email message when a new article has been posted can subscribe to PRA News directly on the PRA News webpage.
We hope this new format will allow for more timely updates and new opportunities for community participation and interaction. Readers can post their own comments on the article or topic covered. Comments will be moderated to ensure they conform to the PRA Listserv Guidelines. An Editorial Advisory Committee will provide general oversight of the newsletter and provide any advice and guidance needed to the Vice President, who, under the PRA bylaws, is responsible for the newsletter.
The newsletter will rely on the efforts of volunteer authors who will track specific areas or topics and will write brief articles whenever they have something to report that they think is of interest to the community. It will also have one-time articles of varying lengths that focus on a specific issue. And several times a year, it will include two articles that residents have expressed particular appreciation for – Meet Your Neighbors and Good Things Happen Here. If you are interested in contributing material to PRA News please contact our Vice President, Jeff Griffith, jeffgpra@gmail.com.
We hope you enjoy this new format and encourage you to send us feedback on how we can improve it.
