The Wedgwood Echo has gone green! Click here to read about it and to sign up for the electronic version of the newsletter.
By Johnson, on March 23rd, 2012

In an effort to go green, the WCC has decided to begin phasing out the print version of the Wedgwood Echo newsletter over the next several months. This decision was not taken lightly for the WCC trustees to reach as the Echo has been in print form for over 20 years. However, we believe that this is the best decision for the WCC and the community as this website, the Facebook page, Twitter feed, and email listserves appear to be effectively reaching and informing the community. Meanwhile, the costs to WCC to print and mail in its current format diminishes the WCC’s ability to address the community’s priorities.
In its current format, the WCC is a 12-or-so page printed newsletter that’s mailed every 2 months to WCC members only with extras placed at local coffee shops. Past Echos are then posted on this website on the online Archive. The Echo requires a significant amount of resources in both time and money to complete and yet only reaches a limited number of Wedgwoodians. Not only does is this phase out a greener solution, but we believe we can be more effective at communicating with the neighborhood. So, in May 2012 we will mail out our final full Echo. After this, we will transition the Echo into an online newsletter that anyone can sign up for. In fact, you can sign up for it below or on our Listserves page and get the Echo in your sent directly to your Inbox.

For several years, the WCC has maintained email listserves on general Wedgwood announcements, land use issues, and the Wedgwood-wide Block Watch. However, we had heard that the old service we had used periodically allowed email SPAM through and was difficult to Unsubscribe from. Therefore, the WCC has changed services in a hope to correct these issues and provide a more dynamic way of keeping our community informed. As part of this switch, we also developed a Privacy Policy so that you understand exactly what we will (and most importantly what we won’t) do with the information you share with us.
Currently, we have moved over the Wedgwood Announce and Land Use Email Listserves to this new service, although we’re working on moving over the others in time. To sign up for one of our new email listserves or just to read more about them, visit our Wedgwood Listserves page.
