The Acton Exchange all-volunteer staff will be resting and rejoicing and reuniting with far-flung family for the next two weeks. We will therefore not publish an issue on Dec. 28 or Jan. 4, nor distribute the Weekly Newsletter. Look for the first issue of the new year on approximately Jan 11.
Your next chances to be contribute will be:
- Any Acton-involved person: Submit Bulletin Board / Calendar items by Tuesday, Jan. 7 at noon (calendar@actonexchange.org). Items should be less than 150 words, and refer to events or opportunities that are open to the public and will occur on or after Jan. 11.
- Established writers: Submit articles (editors@actonexchange.org) by Tuesday, Jan. 7 at noon for consideration for Jan. 11 edition.
- Potential new writers: For 2025, we would enthusiastically welcome new writers – but please consult with the editorial team about your story idea first and review our editorial policies.
- Any Acton-involved person: Submit a letter by Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. (consult letters policy for directions).
- The next All-Hands meeting will be January 8, 2025 at Acton TV at 7 p.m. (16a Craig Rd., Acton, front right door, or by zoom). All Acton Exchange volunteers or potential volunteers are welcome to come learn what is going on behind the scenes at the Exchange, help to shape the future of the enterprise, and develop their journalistic skill set.
Thank you very much for your participation in the Exchange, as readers, writers, photographers, letter-writers, calendar-contributors, story-idea-providers, and all-round enthusiasm-sharers. It’s been a remarkable year and a half; check out our history. If you will be doing end-of-year charitable giving, consider a tax-free donation to the Acton Exchange. And have a wonderful holiday. See you next year!
