   Hi! I have an entry idea that I shall be posting once every week. The Entry will be called "Look! A word that you probably never heard of!"
   
   So, here is my first entry:

   Hello grewbies! I mean, sorry newbees. I mean, sorry. Let me start again:
   
   Hello Newbies from the Newbies Club! I hope you are wondering what that last part up there was, but it is what you would call a "Portmanteau". Wow! What kind of word is that? It rhymes with plateau (Which is really cool; I did not know a word like that existed) and it has a special meaning. You want to know what it means?
   
   It means (Quoted from a dictionary): "a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others"
   
   What does that mean? For example, a Grewbie (Like I used earlier) is a portmanteau. It is the combination of "Grew" and "Newbie". We are all "Newbies", but some of us have "Grown" into non-newbies. Okay, I have to admit that it was not the best portmanteau, but I hope you get the gist!
   
   So, thanks for reading, my blriends! I mean, friends.
   
   P.S. That last one was the mix of blend and friends. You know like you all are a "Blend" of "Friends"? Funny? Not funny? Okay, I'm going to stop talking now.

   @yoshikrab, I just made you a mod for this club (I hope that's ok, @Soccer23) so now you can take your newsletter and send it to everyone! The newsletter button should be on the left side, under the picture.

   Hi @LordMomo and Yoshikrab!
   I'm totally on board with @yoshikrab being a mod and helping us run this thing! Can I ask a favor of you, though? If you could submit your weekly "Look!" to the forum, instead of sending it out by itself, that would be awesome! I was hoping to publish the whole newsletter at once, with all of the entries together. There is a Newsletter Riseup pad, which is here!
   Hope you all decide to join us, mod or not!

   It's also totally fine if you submit it to riseup, just it would be great if you didn't send it off by itself, if you don't mind. I LOVE the idea!!
