Request Newsletter by Email
 

We are asking all Celebrate! subscribers to consider receiving the newsletter via email instead of through the U.S. Postal Service.

There are two reasons for this request. First, it is the ‘green’ thing to do by helping to reduce the amount of paper, fuel and energy that goes into making the paper, printing, folding, stuffing into envelopes, and mailing. Second, funding for the St. Charles County Extension Office has been cut by 25% due to the current economic situation. Most of the funds that support the Extension Office come from the St. Charles County government. Lower tax revenues for the county have forced county officials to reduce spending in all areas, including the support for the local office of the University of Missouri Extension.

We are looking at a number of measures to meet our budget shortfall. Reducing mailing costs is one of those measures.

Emailing newsletters reduces their cost significantly while still providing information to readers.

Please help us to continue providing the Celebrate! newsletter without charge in an environmentally friendly way by signing up to get it by email. To sign up, send an email message to RellergertL@missouri.edu with ‘subscribe Celebrate’ in the subject heading. Thanks!
