January 2010 Newsletter
This year will be filled with lots of exciting growth at All Things Cherokee. Last month I announced a big redesign to the site. This month I've got two new items to introduce. First, this newsletter will now be printed in HTML and archived on the site. I'll also be listing a "Featured Book" in each monthly newsletter. Which brings me to the second announcement -- I am launching a new and improved Books & Gifts section. It features titles related to Cherokee genealogy, history, spirituality, language, culture, and cooking, as well as Cherokee-themed children's books, t-shirts, and other gifts. All sorts of neat stuff. Check it out here!
Also, coming soon, I'll be building a "Travel Center" which will provide all sorts of photos and information about sites of significance to the Cherokee, as well as interactive maps to each location.
So, this year my resolution for All Things Cherokee is to grow, grow, GROW! I hope you will find that these changes enrich the site and your experience at All Things Cherokee.
