The Sierra Echo

The Sierra Echo to be distributed through the Internet

At last, we are very excited about be able to distribute a color Sierra Echo electronically, complete with website links, and here it is!
The Management Committee has taken the "green intuitive" and is following the example of the Rocky Mountain Section and other Sierra Club sections who already offer electronic newsletters.
For this issue only (Volume 52, Number 3, July –September 2008), a hard copy of the Echo will be mailed to each member as usual. Future editions will be sent via e-copy only to everyone who has a workable email address.
IMPORTANT:  If you desire to continue to receive the Sierra Echo in hard copy format through the US Mail, you must, by August 15, 2008:
(1) respond to this announcement saying "Hard Copy Only" or
(2) leave a message for the Echo Editor at (818) 349-6019. If you take no action, the Sierra Echo will only be sent electronically to members with an email address on file.
IN SHORT:  Anyone wishing to continue to receive a hard copy of the Sierra Echo will simply respond to this announcement saying "Hard Copy Only" in the e-mail response.

The current issue of The Sierra Echo and selected back issues of the The Sierra Echo can be viewed, downloaded and printed for your use. The current issue: Volume 52, Number 3 was posted on June 11, 2008.
