By Shanana Rain Golden-Bear Did you notice this edition of Desert Messenger appears a little bit different? Yes, the paper is just a bit wider and shorter in heighth. This is helping me to "EMBRACE HOPE", lowering the printing costs. Change can sometimes be diffi clut, and I hope you all can adjust to the new look. Let me know what you think. Speaking of change, I also started a Substack called "Quartzsite Rain's Newsletter" which will also be used for sending email notifi cations for when upcoming editions will become available online.
