A Note to our Members

 

We would love to see all the Chapters participate in the next issue of the Michigan Wing News. This is your paper, an opportunity to demonstrate to your fellow Chapters your Chapter pride. The digital format allows for Pictures and Graphics to be included with your article. This feature enhances your ability to show the rest of the district how much fun it is to visit your Chapter, especially the special events you work so hard putting together for others to enjoy. After all isn’t that what it’s all about? The personal reward of having a well attended event gives you that wonderful feeling that money just can’t buy. So here is your chance to get the word out and have more area Chapters participate at your next event!

 

To make our job a little easier and your article better read we would like to make the following suggestions:

  • If you haven’t already, please appoint someone as the Chapter Wing News Reporter. Also, please email Wanda their information so she can contact them.

  • Instead of trying to write about the last 6 months, focus on a single event you would like your reporter to write on. It is also a great tool to get the word out on your Chapter’s upcoming event. Humor is good and be sure to include information about the charity if writing about a fund raiser.

  • Include pictures. Make sure you send a couple of pictures with your article. We need them in a Digital Format. If the pictures were taken by a normal camera, take the negatives to your developer and have them put on CD. It will cost 3 to 4 dollars for a roll of film to be put on CD. 

  • Have someone type the article on the computer and either email or send us a disk. Retyping articles is a pain and we prefer not to do it, however we want your article and will do it if necessary. Any document program will work, however our preference is Microsoft Word.

  • Submit it on time. It takes a lot of effort to organize and produce the Wing News. Receiving the article on time helps us out tremendously. We prefer the article emailed to us with the pictures as an attachment. Our email address is WandaWingNews@comcast.net. The due date for the Spring Issue is February 15, and the Fall issue is September 15. Any articles received after the due date may not be used.
