- From the Editor
Recently a new barnstar has been created for WikiProject Baseball, as a substitute for the {{Running Man Barnstar}}: {{The Baseball Barnstar}}. This has given me an idea for the newsletter. If any task force member gives a barnstar to someone for any work that relates to Australian baseball, or if any member receives a barnstar for any work they do, let me know on my talk page. I'll check with the user to make sure they're happy to be listed here (because I know some people don't necessarily like that sort of attention) and assuming I get the green-light I'll put it in the next edition of the newsletter.
This newsletter was composed by Afaber012 . If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please leave a message on the newsletter talk page. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter anymore, please remove your name from the subscribers list on the main newsletter page.
