Supplementing Update !

Hi, everyone! It's time for us to use this blog as a supplement to Update, the snail-mail newsletter June and I have been fairly faithfully sending out over the past year. While we'd be delighted to keep up the printing, addressing and stuffing envelopes, and licking of thirty stamps for each month's mailing, we'll be able to save almost $200/year if we start sending out our Updates via the net. With the rise in the cost of stamps (39 cents each now) and the cost of color print cartridges (nearly one for each Update) inching up too, we hope you let us substitute a little electricity for a whole lot of paper.

And all of this will give us a huge advantage over printed Updates too! As Carol and Hugh have already indicated, all us can post and comment back and forth whenever we wish--and that way we'll be able to chit and chat--and post pictures!--for one another. All of this means, of course, that you'll have to get to your computer and come to www.yourfamilyblog.blogspot.com on a regular (daily?) basis. You can do it!

To make sure that everyone who has Internet service is with us, I'll be sending our invitations today and tomorrow. Once you've gotten your invitation, simply follow the directions, come to www.yourfamilyblog.blogspot.com, and familiarize yourself with all the options. If you have any difficulty, send me an email andrew.harnack@eku.edu, and I'll be glad to send you any clarifications that will help.
