Newsletter Committee Report 2020-07

Things are proceeding as usual with the invaluable help of Kathi Caccavale, Pat Brangs, Liz Pagan, Bill Henderson, and Gary Pratt.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my request last month to augment their notes about closed venues with information their regular attendees might find useful or interesting. That helped fill up the newsletter and connect with our readers. Please continue. And also keep sending me any interesting filler material you may encounter.

There was a mistake with the Swingin' Tern article in the last issue. I never received the July report from Doug, and I assumed that was because there was no dance information to publish. I sent out a query to Doug and Leigh about whether they wanted to submit an article about the proposed August 15 dance that had been brought up at the last board meeting, hoping to fill the empty S&T slot, but Leigh responded that if there were a dance, it would only be announced to the S&T regulars, not through the newsletter. As a result, I ran with the previous month's S&T article that provided information about dance information that was available over the Internet.

Unfortunately, Doug had in fact submitted an article that for some reason I never received. Normally, with monthly articles, I send out reminder notices if I have not received their usual submissions, but in this case I did not, assuming there was nothing to send, and Doug was not alerted to the fact that I had never received his article.

I intend going forward to be more careful about sending reminder emails when expected articles are not received.

Thanks,

George Otto
