Trust should be the basis for all our moral training – Lord Rober Baden-Powell
From the NSD Communications Team
We, the North Shore District Communications team, have been trying some new things and we are still working out the kinks. We would love to get your feedback on the things we are doing. Our new newsletter format is in its infancy so now is when we need to hear from you. Is it working? Do you like the new continuous feed of content using blog posts published throughout the month? Do you prefer PDF? How can we make it better for you? The website has been updated too. Help us with some content ideas. What do you want to see? Is the organization right? Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer all of these questions, just the ones you want to or one of your own making.
