The perfect storm has hit Suzie’s. It’s impeding my ability to get the July newsletter out.
Last week both girls and I were sick in the early part of the week. So of course, I was home. By the time I got back to work, Britta had left for a two-week vacation. Today the girls have a federally mandated school holiday, which means I am home with them. I started typing up some of the articles on Thursday and Friday, but wasn’t ever able to get more than a very rough first draft done. I also spent a LOT of time looking for celery recipes, since you’ve gotten celery in your boxes for the last five weeks.
So, this month we are going to send you the newsletter virtually. Tomorrow, Tuesday July 6, there will be a small notice with your sign-in sheet, not in your box, giving you the box contents, which of course you can confirm on-line. And you will receive an email with the newsletter. AND, we will post the newsletter right here, online.
Perhaps this is a better way to go anyway. We have almost 500 CSA members now, and the newsletter has expanded to 6 pages. Every month, we have invariable issues getting the newsletter out. The printer is out of ink. The pages get stuck in the printer and are ruined. We print too many and have to throw those away. How sustainable is our newsletter beyond the fact that it is printed on recycled paper? I’m not even sure how many shareholders read or enjoy the newsletter. Perhaps it’s casually tossed in the recycling once you get your box home.
But I’m old-school cuz I’m on old fool. Robin and I still receive a daily delivered newspaper. I read magazines and books printed ON PAPER. I like the weight of it in my hands. I like to turn pages, not to turn it on. I don’t like to have to wait for the computer to warm up to read it. I want to turn to the recipe on page 4, and set it in my kitchen while I cook.
But perhaps those of you who feel the way I do can print the newsletter.
In any case, please let us know your preference regardinig the virtual newsletter versus the printed newsletter. We’ll take the majority rules for next month’s newsletter.
