Hi Folks,
I've always disliked the phrase 'the driving force" but it applies here. I rustle up the reporters then I format the pages & publish the issues. That being said, I have lovely help & tons of community encouragement.
The protocol is that only kind, positive and interesting work is right for UpDraft. We love art, history and adventure and anything else the community might conspire to offer up in a friendly positive vein. At UpDraft we believe that the better we know our neighbours and our history, the more latitude we might find for the efforts, beliefs and struggles of others and the more at home we ourselves become within this wonderful community.
​
UpDraft is about community & made to happen entirely by volunteers. There is no cost to subscribe. It appeals to the 'small is beautiful' sort who are jaded by the negative critical tone of much social media. You are invited to join our subscriber mailing lists.
Margaret Scaia, UpDraft Historian Emeritus
Margaret has had much to do with UpDraft's present form , as she has been on board since the second issue. While she has now withdrawn from regularly contributing as she's feeling the need for more free time and an end to biweekly deadlines.
Jill Roberts, UpDraft Food Editor Emeritus
She is surrendering the Food Editor title but will still be very much part of the team in other forms.

I have never written anything like this article before; however I was voluntold/volunteered. But I believed in the subject and happily agreed.
