[HOT] Birthday Sprint!

[Kathleen Danielson]

Heather,

This is fantastic!

I'm happy to help with the newsletter and email signup task, although I'd
need someone to help integrate it into the site. I'm pretty
familiar/comfortable w/ online newsletters and best practices.

I'm going to add these items to the Birthday Sprint site :)

Cheers,
Kathleen
