Help Wanted

We need a layout person for the MOSP Newsletter.  Mary Comaskey has had to lay down the sword as her life fills with other things to do.  She did a wonderful job for the past two years.  We're looking for someone with skills in the use of Word or any other software you can convert Word documents to.  If you have Newsletter experience, all the better.  If not, let's talk.  We're not looking for someone with a degree from the Rhode Island School of Design. 

The duties are to produce a final copy ready for the printer.  It's ordinarily a 2 page (one sheet) newsletter printed four times each year.  The text of stories will be provided to you.  Your electronic output will go to Patti Cannon who handles the printer and delivery.  Steve Susak handles the approvals. We may also have a meeting each quarter of the Communications Committee you will attend.  If you desire, you may also participate in production of the blog, but that's not a necessary part of the job.  However, if you want to learn something about blogging, here's your chance.

In the new communications plan, the emphasis on social news and items of interest has moved from the Newsletter, where there really wasn't enough room, to the Blog.  So the newletter will remain small and contain mostly information from HOA Board Meetings that needs to get to everyone, whether or not they have access to the Internet.  But you're welcome to participate in any of the communications activities you'd like.  You may write, photograph ... knock yourself out, but don't feel you need to do anything more than the newsletter layout.

Right now on the committee are Ashley Cameron, Steve Susak and myself, ably assisted by Patti Cannon for printing and delivery.  We'd be happy to have you join us.

Send me a note if you're interested.

The Unsecret Garden


With no secrets to conceal

A garden will reveal

Each facet of its glory

Every color being seen

Among the requisite green

Describes a detail of the story


Having nothing to hide

As her mood coincides

With the rites of the season

Respectful of the way

Her colors fade to gray

Not questioning the reasons


What seems to be conclusions

Is just shedding past illusions

Of scenes she left untold

The palettes of her history

Reflect no shades of mystery

So to not entrench her soul


No decisions must she make

To be real or to be fake

Cannot hide from her true color

While accepting without doubt

The new life that will sprout

The plan of nature's mother


To embrace the coming sequel

Which may or may not equal

The heritage of its past

With faith but not with envy

Her calm awaits the frenzy

When the time is right at last


Giving no excuses

Nor blaming past abuses

When her lushness is no longer

Assuring to return

With new lessons she will learn

To make her message stronger


She paints another chapter

While telling of its rapture

Makes no secret of its glory


This garden tells a story.
