Lefferts Manor's Got Its Own Newsletter
The December issue of the Lefferts Manor Echo, a newsletter written and published by residents, is now available in pdf format on the new Lefferts Manor Association Website. This issue Echo touches on development, quality of life and public safety issues. Brownstoner regular Bob Marvin contributed four stories (and one scenic photo). By the way, did you know that former Governor Hugh Carey lived in Lefferts when he was a teenager? If there are other community newsletters out there, we'd love to hear about 'em.

Thank you very much for listing the Echo and LMA website. This is the 4th issue of the Echo that I've edited and the second that I've laid out myself. Earlier issues, laid out by a professional graphic designer, look prettier, but I'm still kind of proud of this issue. The scenic photo may be a bit of shameless self promotion, but many previous issues had left over white space and I resolved NEVER to let that happen again--IMO that's as bad as dead air on TV or radio. My primary orientation is as a photographer and I figured that if I had to shoot "grip and grin" photos (something I haven't done since my college newspaper days MANY years ago) I should be entitled to run one "art" photograph in each issue.
The Echo is supposed to have 5 issues per year.I've only managed 4 since taking over the editorship bit over a year ago,but I hope to increase the frequency.
