Assignment #2: eNewsletter

November 14, 2015

As per our discussion on Friday November 13, I was unable to add a page to the MS Word template. My
permission slip, therefore, will appear as page 1 (rather than page 3). Rather than deciding not to use MS Word
templates for creating eNewsletters, I will further my knowledge about working with MS Word templates in order to
avoid running into this problem again in the future.

For this assignment, I chose to include pictures from www.creativecommons.org. Each picture that has been
taken from the creative commons is hyperlinked.
