The RMF is going green and publishing our OVERLOOK newsletter in blog form. This will allow us to save on printing and mailing costs while giving us more opportunity to communicate with the Connecticut climbing community. Let us know what you think.
The new issue of Overlook, the RMF quarterly newsletter, is now available to read or download here. We encourage you to read Overlook online instead of printing it out. This distribution change furthers our environmental mission and helps to keep costs down. If you would prefer to continue receiving a paper copy in the mail please send email to information@raggedmtn.org.
Did you know that you can always find the most recent and archived issues of Overlook, along with other RMF documents, in the RMF Library?
