Newsletter Advertising: We are accepting ad's in the newsletter. Ad's are $35.00 for color (front & back availability - prime placement) and $25.00 for BW (inside newsletter). Ad's are the size of a business card, either horizontal or vertical. And ad's will be included for the duration of the month of the newsletter on our website.

Ad's help pay for the cost of the newsletter production, including printing & mailing. We pay someone to do this as it is very time consuming and much better if a professional, like Leander Print Center, is doing for us.

Contact Cindy Lopez (lopez_cm@yahoo.com) to advertise, and she'll put you in touch with Greg at Leander Print Center.
