Newsletter Committee
The Leaflet is our printed neighborhood newsletter, written by neighbors and delivered by hand. The committee handles everything from stories and photos to layout, delivery, and sponsorships—keeping Maple Leaf informed and connected all year round.
Tell the stories of Maple Leaf
The Leaflet is filled with the voices, places, and traditions that make our neighborhood unique. By writing, photographing, or suggesting stories, you’ll help capture the moments—big and small—that matter to your neighbors and make this place feel like home.
Keep a neighborhood tradition going
For many neighbors, the Leaflet is something they look forward to—a familiar part of life in Maple Leaf. When you join this committee, you’re not just producing a newsletter; you’re carrying forward a tradition that helps people feel rooted, included, and seen.
Be the best part of someone’s day
Whether you’re walking a delivery route, organizing stacks, or making the layout come together, your effort becomes part of a neighbor’s day. The Leaflet brings a little joy to front porches and mailboxes—and reminds people that someone nearby is thinking of them.
