We also continue to add articles from our library of past news -- pre-website --to  our Ensemble Weekly Editions, which also pop up when you use our Search function - top right on any page.

Some of these additions are available now through the generosity of Sponsors who requested a particular issue or topic. You'll see the Sponsor's name, and often a message and/or their chosen photo on the article. Our thanks to every Sponsor -- whether you are in for $1 or $100, the fact of your support is what gives us the motivation to keep on growing this network.

You can Sponsor, too. Please do. We hope this winter to more than double the library's content to 2,200 articles -- we have those and more in line for posting. All we need is your support to buy the time to format and load them.

 

 

We gladly give our time to bring you news
but we rely on your help to keep this
network humming. Please Sponsor us
and help pay the bills for website hosting,
programming support, computer upgrades,
camera repairs and more.

We're still working on the pdf version of this issue;
we will post it for you to download here,
as soon as we create it.

The pdf issues are an alternate format for
our news, which we have been releasing following
each regular issue, as a trial offer.
Please let us know
if you would like to see this continue,
and why. Does it makes saving simpler or
print more easily for off-site reading?

The extra work to make the pdf has been Sponsored
for you by a group of readers through issue #200.
A small Sponsorship from you can keep it going longer.
