Newsletters

The structure of this page is determined by both a view and a block. The latest newsletter will display at the top of this page as well as on the home page. When a new newsletter is added, the old newsletter will automatically be added to the bottom of the “Newsletter” page. 

Before adding a newsletter, ensure that you have the newsletter saved as a PDF and named using dashes or underlines instead of spaces. Also make an image of the front page of the newsletter PDF. You can do this in Photoshop or other editing programs. Save the image as a .jpg file. 

To add a new newsletter, log into Drupal. Click on “Add Content” at the top left then click on “Newsletter”.
