Other Canadian Community Net Newsletters: CCNA News! GPFN Commons NCF FreeNews   We Need Help!          The CCN Beacon is retooling and will soon need writers, columnists and graphics designers. Your reward is a credit which will last the ages, the knowledge that hundreds of people will read your words, the experience and some clippings that look good in a résumé. Send in a small sample of your work or URL to au141@chebucto.ns.ca.          We need a couple of our regular column spots filled, and perhaps start up some new ones. Ideas for feature articles as well as writers wishing to 'freelance' writing them are more than welcome as are graphics people to help illustrate. Write in for more information.   Next Issue: Don't Panic!          It'll be a new century with a new revamped CCN Beacon to look forward to!       This site built with handmade HTML by   Andrew D.
