While serving on the board of directors for RecycleFlorida Today, Lynn became the editor of the group's newsletter, Renewable News.  RFT is an industry trade group of recycling professionals from both the public and private sectors.  Many articles for the newsletter were submitted by members, while others were written by the editor.  Its purpose was to inform members about upcoming events, private sector and legislative developments affecting the industry, as well as to share ideas about successful recycling and public education programs from around the state.  Recognition was also given to sponsors and volunteers for their efforts in furthering the group's mission, and ads were sold to help underwrite the cost of the publication.

Phone Book Roundup
was a newsletter published by Lynn's former employer, a major telephone directory publisher, from 1997-2001.  She designed and wrote it to maintain interest in phone book recycling programs among local community partners, company executives, recycling & waste industry partners, and paper mill fiber buyers & brokers.  All of these partners were necessary to make the recycling programs work.  The recipients numbered over 900 people nationwide.  Copies were also sent to other regional directory publishers and recycling industry media to share ideas that worked and promote our company's efforts.  News affecting each aspect of the programs was covered, while thank-yous to sponsors helped them gain some publicity among prospective customers.  The newsletter was a 1998 finalist for Keep Florida Beautiful's Media/Public Relations award.  Stories from it were occasionally picked up by national recycling industry media, giving the company further recognition for its environmental efforts.

Gator Breeze was the newsletter for the Jax Beaches Gators, a group of alumni and friends of the University of Florida who meet to discuss Gator sports and raise funds for scholarships.  Lynn was its editor from 2002-2004.  The newsletter's purpose was to make club members aware of upcoming club and alumni association events, as well as to encourage their involvement by showing photos of past events and to recognize club sponsors.  News stories on seasonal sports and individual members helped to maintain awareness and build a sense of community.

Noteworthy
was the newsletter of Young Executives in Support of the Symphony (Y.E.S.S.).  Lynn became its editor while serving on the board of directors for the group in the early 1990s.  The organization was a "friend-raising" group for the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, introducing young professionals to classical music while building the symphony's future audience and board leadership.  The newsletter was one means of educating the Y.E.S.S. members and enticing them to attend symphony concerts and volunteer for club events.
