RE: Publishing a Newsletter

Jim · Senior Member

I think that everyone did the very best they could do and maybe it wasn't done right but none of us came into this world knowing everything there is to know. The chapter has suffered enough and I would like to see it move forward with a positive attitude. If this degenerates to a bunch of "he said, she said" and if Route 66 Trikes ceases to be fun, everyone is going to drop out and I don't mind telling you I will be the first. I have enough hassles in my life without going out of my way to find more. I should be looking forward to the next meeting, not dreading it because I know what it is going to be. Anything but fun!

DJ tried to put out the very best newsletter that she knew how to do!

I stand by my statement - she did a great job.

This is a bit long for me to read...i have said donna did an excellent job..,she is much appredicated I also stand by the right for Duane to be published as is if it is his choice,,,,what is written is then a reflection on him and no one else..i really did not expect this to spiral out of control and frankly i dobnt have the strength at the oment to deal with it beyond what I have

Publishing a newsletter will allow you to promote your organization, inform your members and attract new members.

A newsletter can be a wonderful means of communication. Research consistently shows people like newsletters.

People like to get timely information tailored to their interests -- information that is quick and easy to read.

But to communicate, a newsletter must get read. It can't get thrown away before being opened, or banished to the to-be-read pile.
>
You want your newsletter to be a vital piece of communication that people look forward to receiving.
>
This only happens through planning and commitment. Know your audience.
>
The first step in planning a newsletter is too often overlooked: Know your audience.
