Dear Lorraine had no idea what she was signing on for 6 years ago when I stood at her office door and asked her if she would be interested in taking on the newsletter with Marlene! She responded with her typically positive, enthusiastic “sure!” And the rest is history. Just as expected, they truly were the dynamic duo and not only tackled the task of reimagining the newsletter and making it their own design, but curated the news of the chapter by drawing out and highlighting the meaningful stories that make SCC the best region ever! To you both, tremendous thanks and a job well done.

Thank you so much to all who contributed to this issue including Alice Sherwood & Emrys Moreau. We still have a big task in front of us to decide how we’ll distribute important information to our SCC/MLA members. What will that look like? Who will contribute? Will there be new formats? And so many other things to decide. Won’t you join us at the next Chapter Chats and share your thoughts about this?
