News from the D.H. Lawrence Ranch Initiatives Fund
Happy Hour Zoom, CCILC, DHLR, & Training Manual We have several new webpages including information regarding our Series of Happy Hour Zoom presentations, the Co-ordinating Committee for International Lawrence Conferences (CCILC), a link to the DHLR website, and an Officers Training Manual (a work-in-progress) to help ease the transition between terms of office and to maintain continuity for our robust organization. With all the duties being integrated through the DHLSNA website, it makes sense to facilitate the learning curve by providing procedural instruction, computer tips, and timelines for the various roles. This will be an on-going project since we are still learning the simplest and most efficient means of running our organization electronically. We hope that all our officers will contribute their experience to help guide their successors. Newsletter Archive Open The DHLSNA Newsletter Archive has been opened to the general public. Created by our Newsletter editor, Julie Newmark, this handy reference contains back-issues dating from 1980 through last year. The current year's issues will still be reserved for members only. Links to the 2019 Newsletters are available in the Directory section after login. For the latest issues, join today! Website Additions * Some new website resources have been added to the Links page including the Salisbury House Blog "D.H. Lawrence: A Manuscript Mystery." *Photo Request* for the International Lawrence Conferences in Sydney, Australia, and Gargnano, Italy Please submit any digital photos from the conferences or excursions that you wish to share with our members to Tina Ferris. They will be used to create a members-only Gallery page (coming soon) or for the newsletter.
