Bill and Jeff had changed to a bi-monthly format a while ago. They had good reasons for doing so, including having time to develop stories and produce a better quality product. At this time, it is enough to just learn all the ins and outs of putting out a periodical(as proven by my very late first issue!), without thinking of changing anything. However, this first year, let us think of it as a "six issues a year" publication, rather than a "bi-monthly" publication. As I learn to balance the requirements and intricacies of this job, I may consider making some changes, including going back to a monthly format. I am certainly always interested in what the readers think, and will take any suggestions under advisement.
Thanks Tony, Jim and Donna...and everyone else who has offered good comments. I had a lot of good help, including Jeff, who expertly put everything together for the printer. The Post Office box is the same as always for the Beacon (#254) and sending a check there is still the way to subscribe. Thanks!
