July 2018 District 71 Newsletter
To District 71 Members, (Take 2 without broken links sorry)

Welcome to the District 71 Magazine. This year each month we will be featuring both a shorter Guest Division and new Guest Educational features. This month we have Division M and a Pathways educational section. The prize quiz is also back as a regular feature!

This year the magazine will be fully published online as well as the more familiar downloadable Portable Document Format (pdf) file (link at bottom). This will make the content far more find-able and sharable online. The online edition contain bonus materials such as video and podcast clips. READ MORE takes you to the full online version of each article.

3-500 word submissions for future publication are welcome. Contact Public Relations Manager Daniel Sandars
