Sheffield Beehive

Denise Foster is writing and distributing her own monthly paper for Sheffield Vermont. The Sheffield Beehive only has one issue currently, but sixteen pages of everything from Sheffield history and news to a community calender and puzzles that the Foster family make themselves.
Foster says she got the idea for this paper from the local service organizations in town. She believes that there are many organizations and committees in Sheffield that do important work. The problem is that many of these groups don't get their work known by many Sheffield residents. The Sheffield Beehive is a way for those organizations to get their word out, and perhaps recruit from new members for those organizations. Denise can proud say that her paper makes it possible for local committees to not have to compete with other towns.
Currently, most of the stories in this paper are directly from those non-profit committees in the town, that Foster receives via E-mail.
The Foster family says they like putting together their paper on the computer and distributing it online because it is a lot easier then the old newsrooms. The only problem is that the Internet is not always stable in the Sheffield area, and as of now the paper is only being sent out by E-mail.
Foster's vision for her paper is to make it a full size newspaper and have a website attached to it. Eventually she plans on expanding her paper as well hiring a web designer to make a website for The Sheffield Beehive. For the time being though, she says that developing a website alone will be around six hundred or seven hundred dollars, and she likes the size the paper is now to get started up.
The next issue of the Sheffield Beehive comes out duing the third week in March. To get on the mailing list to receive The Sheffield beehive contact Denise Foster at Sheffieldbeehive@gmail.com.
