There is absolutely no reason why you, Alexandra, or anyone else on
this list (or off it) could not put together such a newsletter.  You
don't have to wait to be part of some sort of official organization. 
That is just what I did to to set up my "Resources in Art History for
Graduate Students".  I don't list museum conferences because they are
too many, although I do list internships.  Please check this out at:
(http://members.efn.org/~acd/resources.html)  If you do produce such a
newsletter, I would be happy to link to it.
