WELCOME! noelsgrandpa by noelsgrandpaNEWS-TEAM

Welcome to the 10th edition of the SingSnap Rhythm & News Newsletter. Last month I explained how much we wanted to make this newsletter relevant to the SingSnap community. In keeping with this idea we created a thread under General Discussions to get your input. Our thanks to all of you for the wonderful ideas you posted there and in private messages to us. Please don't stop making suggestions. After all, it is your newsletter and we need your input if it is to be successful.


As promised we have included a FAST, easy to make recipe to let you feed your other family and get back to what's important, SingSnap. Our new cartoonist is back with another topical gem. Please read the article highlighting ray77. Ray is a senior member of SingSnap and has so much to share with all of us.


We do hope to eventually run a "Letters to the Editor" feature and "Dear Snappy", an advice to the bemused and befuddled members of the community, at some point but these features rely on your participation. We will run these features whenever the community has input. "Letters to the Editor" input is welcomed at this message board and Dear Snappy submissions at this message board. These two features need your input.


The News Team home page is located here. Please check it regularly for updates on what's new with us. It includes message links to our various feature departments, a who's who of the news team, links to past newsletters, all the latest SingSnap news and eventually will include an article index from past issues.


This month we feature a "back to school" article, a look at "SingSnappers Daily Theme", a "new contest" and many many more features. We hope we have included something for everyone this month. Remember if you want us to feature something please drop us a line.


Without your help, this Newsletter can't exist.


Please enjoy our latest issue.
