Default Re: Call for Papers/articles!

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and offers to "submit" (so to speak)! Lot of ideas already (please keep um cummun!).

Far as a deadline go, ASAP for articles to be published at the end of this month - lets say please have them to me 3/26 to give y'all a couple weekends chance to get pictures taken, etc and sent to me.

For now, PM me for instructions on sending articles. If that changes, I'll announce it at that time.

As for electronic format, Word or Word Perfect for the text, and jpg formats for photos. PLEASE - NO PDF files, unless that's all you have it in. The articles have to be made to fit the magazine template, and I (for one) cannot massage PDF files - if anyone can.

If you only have hard copy text or photos, PM me and I'll be able to discuss whatever details and questions that come up - off line.

Going forward, since all of the club business is done on volunteer basis and has to be worked in with our "real jobs", I would like to set the formal deadlines up a month prior to the new quarter. Of course the second quarter is already upon us and we'll have to deal with it as best as we can - on an ASAP basis. And, next quarter will be tight to have stuff in by June 1. After that we'll be on schedule - in principal anyway.

It's been a while since I did "production editing", and there are a ton of "mechanics" to become familiar with, but together we'll get through it!

P.
