Survey Update
===========================================

JUST IN: Early Survey Results

Thank you for sharing a ton of information. All has been very helpful and useful to us. No time has been wasted implementing some of your suggestions. To begin we start with introducing our new EduKate section within the newsletter. EduKate each month will highlight: K8T Quotes, the Outspoken section which will highlight an activist and community organization, Page One will offer Kate’s current magazine and literary choices. In the near future Kate will write about more ways one can be part of the political movement, challenge younger lesbians to blaze a trail, publish podcasts, and answer questions from fans. We will continue to implement your ideas -- they are very helpful to us! And remember it is still not too late to be part of the survey.
