WELCOME TO THE NEW NEWSLETTER

If you are an electronic newsletter subscriber, you will now receive your a digest of new website postings every Friday.  Posts that are also newsletter articles will be tagged so that you will be able to find them easily on our website (www.ecdclub.org).  We will continue our policy of only communicating electronically with our members through the newsletter and keeping urgent updates and announcements to a minimum.  If you would rather not receive electronic communications from us, please write to ecdc.pubs@gmail.com, and make a payment – either by check or online – of $10 to receive the monthly newsletter via US post.  We will remove you from the list of electronic subscribers, and include you as a paper subscriber

RECAP OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE 12/11/16 HOLIDAY PARTY

The December Holiday party was a great success; since over 25 members were in attendance, we took a break from socializing and voted on on supporting the UFPJ Peace Pledge, and on the EBYD Sanctuary Community project.  We voted unanimously to support the UFPJ Peace Pledge, and only the two city council members (Greg Lyman and council member elect Paul Fadelli) abstained from voting to support the EBYD Sanctuary Community Project.
