The Black Mountain News is covering this issue closely, and will welcome letters or op-ed columns. They request letters to be under 200 words, but often accept longer submissions; email to news@blackmountainnews.com by Thursday at 3 pm. Include name, hometown and a telephone number. More BMNews contact info here.
The Asheville Citizen-Times invites letters to the editor of 250 words or less. Include your name, mailing address, daytime telephone number and email address, and email to letters@citizen-times.com. Op-eds are submitted the same way except they should be around 750 words and also include a one-sentence bio and head shot. Submissions might be edited for space and clarity. Phone: 828-232-5912
5 Sign up to stay connected: There are two email lists we use to communicate, as noted on the petition:
The Stewards Updates List will send updates from the Montreat Stewards once or twice a month, and when there is important news.
The Montreat Stewards Google Group receives more frequent news and allows those working against the proposed hotel to communicate with each other.
Email us at MontreatStewards@gmail.com and specify which list you want to join, and you will be added.
