Amy Howard
Hi. I’m Amy. I’m a writer, researcher, educator, and techie. Paperless life allows me to work on the water, under trees, or in the sky. If you want stepping stones to the digital age, read my articles. If you want live help, I charge a reasonable fee. Below are some fruits of my digital labors.
I have two amazing kids, a full life, and a bright future roaming the new earth.
“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Luke 23:43
Paperless Ponte Vedra
This website is my playground and my soapbox. I can answer all the computer questions people ask me. I can write about our pretty little beach town, and how to enjoy it more with digital aids. I hope to show how technology actually helps nature. And if ever a modern town was immersed in nature, it’s Ponte Vedra, Florida.
I hope you enjoy seeing it through my lens.
Clubs
South Ponte Vedra Civic Association
I am the Treasurer for the South Ponte Vedra Civic Association. We are the modern instance of the South Ponte Vedra Association, which made sure Guana did not get sold for development. Nowadays, we run social and civic activities out of our fire station-turned clubhouse.
Friends of the GTM Reserve
Friends of the GTM Reserve is the nonprofit organization of modern-day folks who sacrifice their own time and money to keep Guana a preserved estuary. I participate as a registered member in tandem with my paid job at GTM.
St. Augustine Historical Society
For me as a historian, the Saint Augustine Historical Society is a basic necessity. They are doing a great job with their massive mission to “acquire, preserve, and interpret the historical resources of St. Augustine and its sphere of influence for the benefit of the public through its stewardship of historic buildings and collections, research, publications and educational programming.”
World Affairs Council of Jacksonville
I joined the World Affairs Council of Jacksonville to mingle with people who like to hear both sides of the story in a peaceful manner. Their nonprofit mission is to “promote an understanding of the world and its people and to engage citizens of Northeast Florida in becoming better informed participants in the global community.”
Christ Church Among the Oaks
Christ Church Among the Oaks is a satellite branch of Christ Church of Ponte Vedra. Unlike “the big church”, we are a small group who meet in a quaint community center in Vilano Beach.
