[John Burger, ASERL (jburger]

ASERL Friends:

 

Welcome back – and happy 2026!  I hope everyone had a restful winter holiday break.  We had a warm start to the new year here in ATL -- until this morning.  January is back.

 

BEFORE THE WEEKLY RUNDOWN OF ONLINE ACTIVITIES:  Let’s Talk Side Hustles. Elaina has received many requests to share stories about creative outlets and income boosters. Are you a secret novelist? An illustrator? A weekend dog walker? If you have a side gig, we want to feature you. Reply to this email and let us know what you’re up to!

 

Below are the upcoming webinars / online community events we have on the docket for the next several weeks, with more in development.  As always, these sessions are open at no cost to all ASERL members and generally to guests as well – you may see a few that are listed as “ASERL only.”  Also, most are recorded and made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License via our Archive page (www.aserl.org/archive).  The complete list of upcoming events is also available on our website at https://www.aserl.org/events/list/

 

Please join us!  We welcome your ideas for future topics/speakers, too – Please send us your ideas using this form!
