Newsletter #3
January 27, 1999
This is great...keep this information flowing! I hope everyone is enjoying this as much as
I am. Don't forget to share this info
with your newsletter editor...better yet, sign them up!
1) And now, a request.
If and when you send me information, it would be great if it contains
the following information, at the minimum.
Less work for me and faster turn-around time for you:
- Event Name
- Teacher's name, web site and/or reference material if this
is a class
- Sponsoring Guild's name and Town of Event
- Date(s) and Time(s) of event
- Cost and availability to non-members (i.e. date we can
start signing up)
- Contact name, email and phone number
- Dates teacher is available to other guilds, if applicable,
with her phone #
Simply check this list when sending any information to me.
2) Also, program chairs: please be thinking LONG TERM...
Everyone would benefit from knowing who you have scheduled in 6 to 12
months. Then we could do some real
sharing of national teachers. Lets
don't want till the last minute...you have a voice now, so use it! <grin> And I'm ready to schedule out for my guild for the next two
years. So if you're interested in
sharing teachers, lets talk!
3) Another note: several newsletter recipients have
requested a newsletter without formatting, as my formatting codes aren't read
properly by some email programs. If you
are having a problem reading the newsletter, drop me a line and let me know you
DON"T want formatting in you e-newsletter.
