Volunteer: Digital Newsletter support

Good Shepherd needs help with producing and sending a monthly digital newsletter.  I haven't got a clue on how to do this so please come with your ideas.  We can purchase a template or pay a small monthly fee for a service if needed.  It's been suggested to me that mail chimp is a viable option but I truly mean that I'm clueless!  

I would love to have your help!  Good Shepherd does so much good in the counties but we need to raise our presence through media.  If you are tech savvy and want to take a crack at this then your our person.  If you've versed in marketing and digital means you too would be a welcomed edition.

Please think of helping us move this area forward!

Blessings,

Paula
