My first zine!

A zine is a small, handmade publication about a topic, often esoteric, for which the author has a passion. I have kind of been toying with the idea of making a zine for a while, and I found a kit in a local shop, Hinge Collaborative, which I took as a sign.

The kit and book had instructions for how to fold and cut paper to make a simple zine format and included some templates. I decided to make my first one about my career: planned giving.

This is a basic intro, and further issues will address specific gift types and examples from my career. I'm hoping to get this snowballing into a zine-making workshop with my colleagues to tell stories about our various corners of the office.
