Our newsletter
Our Chapter newsletter, The Paintbrush, is published four times each year, and is mailed free to members. Contributions to the newsletter are always welcome, — the articles come from various Chapter members, and can be on almost any subject related to native flora. If you have a contribution, please contact the Editor or submit a message via the Contact Us page.
You can download our newsletters from the following links. All newsletters are Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files, which require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader or equivalent software. Files are compatible with Acrobat Version 5.0.
Note: Regarding file sizes:
-
From the March-April 2009 edition onwards, two versions are available: (a) a smaller file size for display on a computer monitor, and (b) a larger file size for printing, with higher resolution.
-
For editions from September-October 1996 through January-February 2009, file sizes have been minimized by resampling all graphics and imagery to 96 dots per inch, which is optimized for computer monitors.
-
Editions prior to September-October 1996 were scanned from paper copies at 200 or 240 dots per inch.
If you are a chapter member receiving The Paintbrush via Post Office mail, and would prefer electronic delivery, please let us know via the Contact Us page. With electronic delivery, you receive an email notice, and you can then download the latest edition from this web page.
