Always wanted to write a monthly column?  Here is your opportunity to contribute to the HERALD.  The column would be a glimpse into people's lives and accomplishments outside of church (trips, honor roll or dean's list status, new employments, awards received, etc.)?  This would be a very well-read section of the newsletter because we have so many people accomplishing so much!!!
