About This Newsletter

Welcome to this issue of the Noticing Newbies newsletter.

I thought I would give more information on things to check out that you may enjoy and maybe help you get involved with places and also places that are just for newbies.

This newsletter is about and for you. And for seasoned members, I hope you'll find something you can take from my ramblings.


This newsletter's goal is to showcase our Newbies here at WDC in a wide range of different
kinds of items to enjoy and give the Newbies some tools and items to help them along the way, as well as other places for them to check out and maybe join in or just explore.
