[Lapg] LAPG Newsletter

[Taylor Arneson]

G'Day,

I want to thank Jenifer Murphy for starting this Newsletter, and those
people who have helped me over the past year, contributing ideas, listings,
videos, articles and events. I enjoyed piecing it together and hearing it
was useful for readers. I would like to extend that positive (or negative)
feedback as i pass the torch to the new editor, Larry Santoyo and his team.
Larry is an environmental designer, land use planner, business consultant,
permaculture designer and teacher. I look forward to observing the growth of
the Los Angeles Permaculture Guild Newsletter under his direction.
