Newsletter Guidance
Newsletter Guidelines: These are suggestions rather than iron-clad rules. Since we are all volunteers, it helps the whole team if the process is efficient and effective for those involved. Articles may be edited to fit into the space available. The Editor reserves the right to withhold articles deemed inappropriate.
Deadline: Article deadline is the Thursday following the week of our regular meeting date (1st Tuesday) in December, February, April, June, August, October, December.
2009 deadline: December 10
2010 deadlines: February 11, April 15, June 10, August 12, October 14, December 16.
Submission Format: Electronic submission is preferred with e-mail the preferred medium. Alternatives include CD-ROM or USB drive. When sending e-mail, the e-mail message header or beginning text should make it clear it is an article.
The article should be a Microsoft Word.doc or Microsoft Word compatible file format. If that is not possible, create the file as a text file. Graphics should be separate, individual files, and the JPG format is preferred. Please identify any people in photographs, if relevant.
Article Length: The current newsletter is two columns per page. Normal newsletter will be 6 pages in length (maximum size of newsletter will be 8 pages and only for special circumstances).
Article Content: It is easier for the reader if an article focuses on a single topic, rather than many topics. This may require coordination among the authors, especially the officers, so that important topics are covered but not duplicated. If material from other sources is included, please cite the source. We cannot reprint copyright material without the owner’s permission. Additionally, if we include advertising, it cannot include Travel, Credit, or Insurance (per USPS guidance of our Non-Profit Standard Mail Permit).
