Newsletter Committee Report 2018-09

Things are proceeding as usual with the invaluable help of Kathi Caccavale, Pat Brangs, Nancy Kelner, Liz Pagan, Bill Henderson, Paul Fisher, and Joanne Cronin.

Last year I added a reminder to my newsletter action list for August to examine the boilerplate text that is copied from issue to issue to make sure it is still accurate. I did this examination for the August newsletter and found a number of items that needed to be updated or removed. Most of the changes had to do with venues because of changes to admission fees, phone numbers, email addresses, event start times, and dates. A couple of venues were removed because they were no longer active, and another was added because an old venue added a second location.

I also sent a reminder to the board about my cleanup effort, suggesting that if they too had their own internal examples of boilerplate, lists, or databases, it might be a good time for them to do their own housecleaning as well, checking that all their data was correct. A lot of small changes can happen over the course of a year. Doing an FP-wide cleanup should help us all.

I'll send out a similar reminder to the board next August.

Sincerely,

George Otto
