NATPA e-Newsletter March 20th, 2017

Dear NATPA members:

The NATPA e-Newsletter contains mainly important announcements and writings by NATPA members published in news media (or in forum) from the previous week(s). The Board encourages everyone to share their news and members’ articles in the forum or one can send info to the <natpa.board@gmail.com> to be included in the weekly e-newsletter.

As G. Keillor like to say at the end of Writer’s Almanac program of NPR, “Be well, do good work, and keep in touch”.

Best,

NATPA Board
