National Recreation News Goes Public

[The Lyin King]

It's been in the works for some time now but it is finally ready for Public release!

"Dear current "beta" subscribers to BRCs Recreation News,

It's time to make our Recreation News public. But before we blast the big announcement I'd like to take a minute and thank all who chimed in with comments and suggestions.

Several of you made excellent suggestions, two of which we are going to implement immediately. One is the "weekly summary" option which will combine a weeks worth of emails into one. The other idea is to post archives of the Recreation News emails on BRCs website.

Another idea we're going to implement is to post some FAQs on the website.

Several of you "beta testers" emailed some of the same questions, including "what is the criteria you use to select news articles" and "do you want BRC members to send articles and news clips from our local paper?" It may take some time to put that together but we figure if we got the same questions from more than one person its worth the time to get it done.

One final note, the Recreation News is a team effort and everyone involved wanted me to say THANK YOU!! to all of you who emailed complementary comments on this project. Its very nice to know our work is appreciated.

The public lands guys are in the middle of responding to a couple of new greenie lawsuits so the official announcement may not be out until tomorrow.

Also, feel free to forward our Recreation News emails to friends, family and riding buddies you think might be interested."
