Monthly Supporter Update
The More Mesa Preservation Coalition (MMPC) is now more than 1100 supporters strong. However, we realize that, in this busy era, most people do not have the time to check our monthly news on the web site. And, because there is not an urgent threat apparent on the horizon, More Mesa is often not a top priority for the community. So, in the interest of informing and educating, we are initiating a monthly e-mail update to all our supporters, This single, simple, page will be sent to all those who have expressed an interest in being informed about current happenings, or would like additional information on, or about, More Mesa.

Topics on the update will include, but not be limited to:

  • News about potential development on More Mesa
  • Answers to frequently asked questions: Although we already have several questions that will be answered over the next few months, we encourage all who are interested in More Mesa to submit any questions you might have as well. Questions should be e-mailed to the address provided on the Contact page.
  • This month on More Mesa: Issues of particular interest for the month. These may be about legal questions, plants, animals, birds … or any other pertinent subject.
  • The Past: Some brief and interesting facets of More Mesa’s past.
  • How You Can Help: All of us are often frustrated because things do not move quickly with regard to More Mesa. This section will offer suggestions on how supporters can help us achieve our mission, and how to build against potential development threats in the future.

The first issue of this short e-update will appear in the middle of this month and continue in months following. You must have supplied MMPC with an e-mail address in order to receive it. We hope you find this update useful, and welcome any suggestions or feedback on its contents, format etc.
