I thought it would be a good idea to start sending out a monthly newsletter to all our members. There are two reasons for this:
1) To let everyone know all the latest Beatles and forum news.
2) To remind members who still haven't posted, or who used to post and have disappeared or have forgotten the link.
I would only send out one email per month so it shouldn't bother anybody, but if you don't want to receive them there's an opt-out option in your profile settings.
Look out for the first newsletter coming soon!

Newsletter 1: July 2007Hello John Lennon fans! lennonfans.proboards81.comThis is the first ever newsletter from Come Together – The John Lennon Forum. If you haven't visited us for a while you'll find we've added lots of new features and have lots of interesting discussions taking place. We now have over 40 members and more than 370 topics to comment on! We have a weekly picture caption contest, many other games and polls, an album reviews board and a section for your fan fiction and fan art. You can also collect Peace Points every time you post a message – there are 200 bonus points available when you post for the first time, so if you still haven't posted yet do it now and claim your 200 points! Do you have your own website? We have a section where you can advertise your sites, forums and other links. Don't forget, I post all the latest John Lennon news in 'I Read The News Today', so you can use the forum to keep informed. ----------- QUOTE OF THE MONTH"Why do I have to explain what sound is? I mean, we all sit by the sea and listen to it. But do we say, 'This sea is good because it's reminiscent of childhood experience when we were at the seaside' or 'It's like your mother's water' or anything like that? People just lie in fields and listen to birds and nobody says a thing." – John Lennon ----------- THOUGHT OF THE MONTH - From anecdotage.comClive Davis once asked John Lennon what sort of music he was listening to, and was stunned by the Beatle's reply: "Nothing." "Nothing?" Davis replied. "Don't you want to know what's being played?" "Absolutely not!" Lennon replied. "Did Picasso go to the galleries to see what was being painted?" ------------ That's all for this month. If you don't want to receive any more newsletters from us, just log into the forum, go into your profile settings and opt-out of receiving group emails. Finally, I'd like to say thank you to all our regular members, and to those of you who have disappeared from the forum or who have joined but never had time to post – please come back soon! ~Louise (nowheregirl) Administrator Come Together - A John Lennon Forum lennonfans.proboards81.com

Newsletter 2: September 2007
Hello John Lennon fans!
September newsletter from Come Together - The John Lennon Forum
I'd like to begin by thanking everyone who visits and posts regularly. Those who don't, I hope you'll come back soon!
We now have 59 members and over 500 topics to comment on.
What are we discussing at the moment?
This month's John Lennon Song of the Month is Revolution 9 – one of John’s most controversial songs. What's your opinion?
Has John inspired you to learn a musical instrument, to write a song, to campaign for peace or to be a better person?
Our 1000 Reasons to Love John Lennon thread is still very popular – can you think of any more reasons to add to the list?
Test your knowledge with this month's John Lennon Trivia Quiz.
Have you bought Ringo's new album Photograph? If so, why not tell us what you think of it. Are you looking forward to Across The Universe, the new musical based on Beatles songs, due to be released later this month? Have you read Pattie Boyd's new book yet? Also, Help! will finally be available on DVD in October – will you be buying it?
If none of these topics interest you, feel free to start your own discussions on anything John Lennon or Beatle-related!
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"It is for others to judge. I am doing it. I do. I don't stand back and judge - I do." ~ John Lennon, 1980
