Dear ,
Welcome to another issue of our member newsletter! As you already know, this year's Sustainable Living Fair was a tremendous success and a good time was had by all. We were joined by more than 9500 people from across the country who support our collective efforts.
This past July we launched our largest membership campaign to date, in September we welcomed 60 new and renewing fair sponsor memberships, and our current membership base is stronger than ever. On November 12th we will release our year-end membership campaign, with the simple goal of growing our family of supporters.
Together we are making a difference! Your contribution to the Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association contributes to our success and we thank you for your continued support.
