Newsletter Committee Report 2017-07

As mentioned at an earlier Board meeting, I have added a new item to the newsletter reminder list: validate the accuracy of the Venue and Dancing boilerplate descriptions each year for the August issue.

I then followed up on this action item and discovered four entries needed to be changed, either because the weekday or time of the event changed, or because the event was no longer taking place. Please note that venues with active calendar entries are checked much more often since they are updated virtually every month. It is only the unchanging boilerplate entries that need to be reexamined at least once a year.

For your information, here is my reminder list for the newsletter:

[ ] January issue: list of newly elected officers (minutes)

[ ] January Issue: ask for hosts for Board meetings

[ ] January issue: Swingin’ Tern NYE flyer

[ ] February: Note about Winter Weekend (closed down?)

[ ] April issue: April Fool’s article

[ ] June issue: Birthday show invitation

[ ] June issue: 4th of July picnic

[ ] July issue: Final Birthday show article

[ ] July issue: Final 4th of July picnic article

[ ] July Issue: Board meeting one week delayed if it falls on the 4th

[x] August Issue: Validate all venue data

[ ] September board meeting: need to form Nominations Committee

[ ] October issue: Nominations Committee article

[ ] October issue: MUF auction article

Sincerely,

George Otto
