There are two months left before the end of the Distinction in Journalism Award, October 31st. We want to encourage all squadron and district editors to make sure they have sent the prescribed number of issues to their advisers for review. If you are not sure who your adviser is, they can be found at www.usps.org/member. Click on committees and scroll down to the Publication Committee. The menus will take you to the evaluator page. A special reminder to the Provisional Squadrons; you are also eligible to participate in this award if you have published the required number of issues. Last year we had over 300 squadron and district awards. This year, we would like for the number to be much higher.

I am unable attend the Governing Board meeting in Reno, however Stf/C Anne Schreitmueller, JN has everything under control and will have plenty to say at the open meeting. Make plans to attend.

The Publications Committee for the past three years has watched many changes take place with the squadrons efforts in communication with its members. We have met the challenge of reviewing newsletters by hard copy, sent by e-mail or posted to a web site. We still hold to the premise of not how flashy your newsletter is, but how well it states your goal for information. Keep up the good work. If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to get in touch with your adviser, our assistant chairman or myself.
