Our 8-page newsletter was completed last night. Production of the print version (black & white) started today and will be mailed out (via bulk mail) soon. See the color version now on our website.

Content included:

  • Invitation to our Annual Meeting & Program October 5th, with guest speaker Dina Stander leading a discussion about ways to discuss tough topics with loved ones. She asks, “Can We Talk?”
  • Dina’s Bio
  • Your Vote Matters (Timeline for Annual Membership Meeting with election of trustees, officers)
  • Woven Connections (photos of willow casket and a weaver)
  • Our Educational Outreach
  • Visit to Endswell Funeral Home (photos of an aquamation machine)
  • FAQ: What is the difference between organ/tissue donation and whole body donation?
  • News of which US states allow aquamation (Alkaline Hydrolysis) and which allow human composting (Natural Organic Reduction)

If you have ideas for future articles (e.g., topics you wish we’d cover), let us know. If you’d like to help write articles, let us know. Three of our trustees participated in writing and editing the content for this issue. Proofreading (an essential step) was done by another volunteer. We could always use more help.
