This is a test of the new manual feed and newsletter. After having problems with the automatically-generated service I had been using, I have decided to switch to making the email and feed entries myself. This will allow much greater flexibility, and hopefully make the newsletters a bit more readable. Instead of "The next meeting will be on Monday, April 25. The next class is scheduled for Saturday, April 2, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM," I can say, "The next meeting of the Book Club will be on Monday, April 25. There is also another computer class scheduled for Saturday, April 2, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Guffey Library."

Thank you for your patience while I work out these bugs, and feel free to let me know if you have any more problems.
