JOURNEY WITH JEFF: Happy New Year
I understand that we are well past the appropriate time for me to share the traditional New Year greeting, but it has been a busy month here at the Trumpet, and this is the first chance I’ve had to share with you. I’ve heard a few people recently express that January seemed to last forever. At the Trumpet, January brought an updated design that featured rearranging some elements and increasing the font size. It’s quite common for someone to call and say they can no longer read the paper and need to cancel their subscription. Our hope is that this change will help ensure our readers continue to have access to the information in the BMA’s only weekly newspaper!
12 Pages!
The other major update is the transition to 12 pages each week. You might notice that there are only 8 pages this week. That is because we normally would have our BMA of Arkansas insert this week, but since we just completed the special series “Who Do We Associate For?” which covered broader yet similar content, we won’t have a BMA of Arkansas insert again until April.
Special Emphasis Upcoming
As I shared in my report at the BMA of Arkansas meeting in November, our theme for Special Emphasis this year is “Your Connection to the Mission: Informed, Inspired, Involved.” We are less than a month away from the time set aside each year (March-April) for us to raise funds for special projects and needs for the Trumpet. Keep an eye out for more information about how you can participate and help invest in this ministry.
New Listing
You will notice a new listing in this week’s issue. We have compiled a listing of Special Emphasis times and fundraising events for each department and ministry of the BMA of Arkansas and BMA of America. The goal is to offer you an easy reference about how you can support the ministries of our association.
