WELL DESIGNED E-NEWSLETTERS

More and more, nonprofits and community groups rely upon the internet to distribute information to the public and to their constituencies. Many nonprofit newsletters are now sent via email to save on costs, reach more people and even save trees! This class will help you create a customized, attractive and well-designed template for e-newsletters and e-announcements.
