FUSN Media
There are three primary sources for regular news and information for members of the Society—the weekly newsletter, the FUSN web site, and the FUSN e-mail lists.

Newsletter: The FUSN newsletter is available either through traditional mail, on the Web site, or via email. It is mailed weekly except during the summer months when there is one issue at the end of July and one at the end of August. If you would like to receive it via email, contact the editor at office@fusn.org.

The newsletter has columns by the minister, the director of religious education, and the music director, as well as news items regarding upcoming meetings and other events of the Society. Space does not permit the publishing of classified ads from members. The newsletter is printed and folded by the Society’s administrator on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. Written or e-mailed announcements in the administrator’s office by that deadline will get in the newsletter if space allows. The administrator cannot accept telephoned entries for the newsletter. Thursday morning, a small crew of volunteers labels, sorts and mails the newsletters. The newsletter covers events for the Sunday 10 days from the mailed date and beyond. Members or friends who live outside of Newton can pay for first class postage to speed delivery of their newsletters.

Editor: Fran Clancy, office@fusn.org

Web Site: The FUSN web site, contains text and photos that offer a great deal of information about the Society, its history, and its programs. In addition, the web site carries sermons by the Rev. James Ishmael Ford, the Society’s minister; the most recent version of the newsletter as well as back issues; the most recent approved minutes from the Council and Board of Trustees’ meetings; and copies of other major information pieces such as the list of committee chairs, board members, and the like. Since newsletters often contain personal telephone numbers and addresses, you must supply a user name and password to access them.

Webmaster: Vernon Ellis, webmaster@fusn.org

E-mail Lists: The FUSN e-mail lists are unmonitored and are open to any member or friend of the Society. The business list, fusn-business@lists.fusn.org, is an information-only list. Subscribers to this list look to it for news/information directly relevant to the Society and its members. The general list, fusn@lists.fusn.org, is a vehicle for transmitting news, requests, opinions, and items of general (and occasionally even marginal!) interest. Messages range from requests for the names of plumbers and babysitters to suggestions for social action, and jokes. Subscribers voluntarily observe the rules of generally accepted e-mail etiquette. To receive either list, e-mail: leonard@tlw.com , and ask to be placed on the list you prefer.
