-Peg Nickl, Office Administrator
There is something unique about this month’s issue of the Messenger. It’s been printed on 100% post– consumer content recycled paper. The white paper is Green.
As the Office Administrator of a Certified Green Business, I have personally made a pledge to the County of Santa Clara to make Green a priority in all purchasing decisions. I made this pledge in writing as part of Foothill’s Green Business re-certification, no kidding. Purchasing only recycled paper and limiting our use of color paper is one way I’m upholding my pledge. So next Sunday, when you pick up your white bulletin, remember it’s also Green.
Foothill’s website has also gone through some Greening this summer. The site was moved from the Gatzke’s house to a carbon neutral web hosting company, and Greg Gatzke was able to shut down two servers. At first glance the site looks about the same, but the eGreen communication potential is endless.
This month the eMessenger debuted on the website along with a new interactive calendar and birthday list. The picture page has been linked to a photo-sharing site to more easily share photos with out printing. We have five blogs! The church office, ECT, knitting group, music ministry, and preschool are all blogging. And that’s just what we already have.
How about an online directory that only Foothill friends and family can access? We can have one. Would you like to see the weekly bulletin on the website? I can do that. Want a blog for your group? You can have that too!
Thanks to Greg Gatzke for setting up the website, transferring it to the new host, and helping me get started. I know how to edit pages now, and I’m working towards getting all the information updated. Anyone who would like to volunteer to help out with the website should contact me. I’d love to have some company and support.
This Green Business pledge is a big part of Foothill’s commitment to practice active stewardship of God’s Creation. Not everyone can go paperless. Not everyone wants to go paperless. Those who can and are willing, please sign up for eMessenger. I will gladly see to it that this month’s Messenger is the last paper Messenger you will ever receive.
To be added to the e-Messenger list, send an email to foothillpc@gmail.com. I look forward to being Green with all of you.
