So we’ve been calling the weekly news item that we send out “Weekly News Item”. Lacks a certain “something” dontchathink? LOL People get so much mail and junk in their email inboxes these days, we need something to **stand out**. Some discards from the Ben’s Friends trash can –

_Hoofbeats_ (referencing the old zebras and horses thing) – our editor-in-chief pointed out that there are several equestrian organizations which use that one

_Stripes_ – won’t say whose idea that was, but it’s just plain weird!

_News from Ben’s Friends_ – _yawn_ , just big _yawn_ .

A clever wordsmith friend of ours suggested _Zebra Gnus_ . ROFL, how clever is that, but I think that one’s going to get old really soon.

Seriously, we need a new name! Friends. Connections. News. Community. Togetherness. Put your creative caps on … what can you come up with?

_The Zebra’s Guidebook_

An allusion to the hoofbeats aphorism, “guidebook” as a word evokes community and togetherness, a common path. You become “the zebra” when you have a rare disease. The combination of the words offers a unique perspective which hasn’t been used before.
