Our District newsletter serves as a means of exchanging
information between you and the members of Lee District. As
officers and chairmen, you keep the lines of communication open
when you contribute news from the District and State in your
respective areas. The club presidents, club officers and club
chairmen look forward to reading the articles to find out what
is going on in the federation. Aside from the information you
provide at the Leadership Workshop, this is the only other way
we have to communicate to the clubs. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT, PROGRAM OR SPECIAL
ASSIGNMENT.
Clubs are always looking for a program or project suggestions.
Please try and submit an article for each issue of the
Traveller. It’s much better when you and your general/junior
work together and share this responsibility (i.e. take turns
submitting articles).
When you submit an article for publication, please follow these
guidelines:
Good
Copy consists of “NEWS THEY CAN USE” – areas of emphasis, ideas,
requests, programs or announcements that are pertinent and timely.
Please note the emphasis on “News They Can Use.” Please don’t take
information or facts from a pamphlet or article and just copy it!!
The clubs NEED program and project ideas. Remember to answer the
following questions: “Who? What? When? Where? Why?”. Don’t
forget to include contact information such as addresses, phone
numbers, email or website addresses. Information on programs and
projects within Virginia and especially the Lee District area are
preferred.
When submitting something that is for a particular date, remember
that the Traveller comes out by email about two weeks after the
deadline and by regular mail up to four weeks after. Clubs need to
have time to react to the information you provide. Please plan try
and plan ahead so that clubs can support the programs and projects
within the Lee District area that need their support.
