I encourage any of your readers in the Seattle area to come. Our website tells how to buy tickets. And for those who can't come, we'll post her talk on our website.
To do all this work, of course, takes staff and volunteers. When I joined YES! in 1998, we had five staff. I now have the great pleasure of working with 20 hardworking, talented staff members, plus many more volunteers, each dedicated to helping people see the possibilities for a positive future.
JB: Wow! Exciting! I didn't know about that e-newsletter; it sounds great. How do we get it? And, anything else you'd like to add before we wrap this up?
FK: Your readers can sign up for YES! This Week on our website, or go directly to the sign-up page: http://www.yesmagazine.org/newsletter . It comes out every Friday afternoon with a round-up of our top stories of the week. I personally love getting it. After being immersed all week in the news media's barrage of depressing headlines, it lifts my spirits to see what people are doing to take us through the turbulent transition of our time to a better world.
It's been great to talk with you, Joan. Thanks for your tremendous enthusiasm for YES!
JB: It's true; I am totally enthused about YES! I don't know how anyone could read it, in any of its guises, and not be. I'm off to sign up for that e-newsletter right now! Thanks so much for talking with me, Fran. It was a treat.
