I have been
publishing the calendar for close to 15 years and I worry that today, with
everyone depending on their smart phones, the interest in a wall calendar may
be fading. Perhaps I could come up with
an alternative promotional device to gather the needed funds. Coffee mugs, t-shirts or perhaps tote bags
decorated with my images might work, but I wouldn’t be able to compete with Hew
Hampshire Public Radio. Besides, this
time of year everyone I meet is asking, “When is the calendar coming
out?”. It has become part of my summer
tradition and I realize that, at this point, I wouldn’t know how NOT to produce
a New England Reflections Calendar.

Always one image from the coast. |
I used Microsoft
Publisher to create the basic layout of the calendar. I hate to surrender any part of the process, but in recent years I
have come to appreciate that the refinements provided by a talented graphic designer and professional printing can provide a finished look to the final result.

In this article, I have included a few of the featured images from the 2017 New England Reflections Calendar. Your feedback would be appreciated.
Of course the greatest help come when you support our pulmonary patients by buying lots of calendars! Remember any errors in the calendar are NOT their fault.
