NEWSLETTER
2015/01
Hello everyone and welcome to my first newsletter.
Im Heather Long, new to the committee and new to the responsibility of writing and distributing the
PATI newsletter. For ease, cost and environmental reasons, I really want to make this an emailed
document, so please give me your feedback and share with me your email addresses plus those of
fellow members. If you cant open the newsletter or the formatting is odd, please let me know. I will
modify as we go. Im told that members can typically expect three or four newsletters a year, so if
you want to keep really on top of events at the Little Theatre, can I direct you to the fabulous
Facebook page. This is regularly updated and is a great way to see sneaky preview pictures of
forthcoming productions.
