BTW Newsletters
Here you’ll find weekly newsletters going back to January 2020. Each week I send out a roundup of stories and events on Thursday mornings and share my latest explorations in the Berkshires.
We began in Mailchimp and switched to Mailpoet in June 2020 (because it plays beautifully with WordPress and makes creating the newsletter easier), so you will see the form change then. Any newsletter from June 10, 2020, onward you can open just by clicking the link.
