GLAD CHAT Monthly Newsletter

The current year's GLAD Chat newsletters are included at the bottom of this page.  Past year's newsletters are archived in the Past Year's Newsletters page and can be accessed by clicking the link to the left.  All newsletters are stored in PDF form and require Adobe PDF reader which may be downloaded for free from www.adobe.com

The monthly Newsletter is GLAD’s major outreach program.

GLAD CHAT is mailed in a secured manner with just the post office box as the return address via first class mail to those individuals without e-mail or internet access and who pay $10 for a whole year subscription [12 issues].

A PDF version of GLAD CHAT is available below and to members who submit their e-mail addresses to the Editors. The monthly mailing costs are prohibitively expensive. 

[Note: Internet access is available and free of charge at the Decatur Public Library, 130 North Franklin Street, Decatur IL,  217-424-2900.]

The newsletter usually arrives during the week prior to the regular monthly social. The newsletter includes a calendar of upcoming GLAD events and other local and area events of interest.

GLAD welcomes newsletter submissions from all members. 

Newsletter deadline submissions for the next newsletter are usually the last Saturday of the previous month.  If you would like to submit a newsletter article, please e-mail us at glad.newsletter@mchsi.com with an inquire and one of the editors will contact you for details.
