Next months newsletter

[SweetFawn]

Okay, everyone. The newsletter will be as fun and interesting as you guys make it. So, with that being said...

I need tips and tricks.

I need pics for the photo contest. I know some of you guys are avid photographers so, send me some macros, unusual pics, prettiest zoas, scariest hitch-hickers, etc., etc. Get creative!!

I also need full tank shots for the TOTM feature. Don't worry if your photog skills aren't up to par or if you don't have a digital camera, I have a volunteer to come take the pics for you. We would like to see everyone participate, it doesn't matter if you just set up your tank (you might be featured because you have the best rockscaping) or if it is 10 years old!!!

TIA for all your help and support with the newsletter.




P.S. for the people who weren't at the meeting or didn't recieve a print copy of the newsletter my e-mail address is [email protected] (just send everything there)

Go Stacy !!

[Tre' Landrum]

how about a deadline for getting anything in the newsletter... just so we know when we need to get writing.

[SweetFawn]

Great idea!

Let's go with a deadline of Jan 31. That gives everyone 10 days to get stuff in, I would like to get the newsletter e-mailed out the first week of Feb.

[Travis L. Stevens]

Stacy, no promises, but I will try to give something to you to help out. I'm a little busy with work and both frag programs now.

[SweetFawn]

No prob, Travis. When and if you can help it will be appreciated. You have a lot on your plate too.

[GLD]

Don't let him off the hook ... Travis says that he only is "a LITTLE busy" !!





... just kidding. All help welcome, whether some or lots !!!!

[quaz]

let's set up the "Tips and Tricks" as a sticky so they will always be on this site and you'll be able to easily get the new ones posted for the month.

[SweetFawn]

Good idea Ben

[SweetFawn]

We're getting down to the wire here guys...I have recieved a few pics for the photo contest but I have yet to recieve any full tank shots for the tank of the month. I have only recieved one entry for Tips and Tricks and only one article.

I know we have some creative people in the group so show off your talents!

If you want your tank to be entered in the tank of the month section and don't have a digital camera, that's no problem we have a great photographer that is willing to come take pics for you. So, there are no excuses now. Right? :p

Send pics and articles to [email protected]

Oh good! No excuses?! Would he/she (I'm betting ReeferKeith :p ) be willing to make that wonderful drive to Stillwater?

[SweetFawn]

That you would have to ask him/her (yes it is ReeferKeith). LOL

[Travis L. Stevens]

Actually, I might just do that :) Hey, Keith....YGPM :lmao: *I can already see the look on his face :D

[SweetFawn]

Well guys the newsletter is done except for one feature!!!! I will be getting it converted to PDF to make it easier for e-mailing by Sunday at the latest!!!!!!

Thanks for the pics I recieved, but to make it a bigger contest for next month, we need LOTS OF PICS!!!! Photo contest AND Tank of the month entries! I only recieved two pics for TOTM this month. So let's get more pics in for next month, you have a whole month so ther are no excuses!! :D

Feb. newsletter should be out soon! I am sooooo sorry for the delay, it has been quite hectic around here since my other half has been out of town, sick kids, school, etc. you parents know the drill. Okay that's a bunch of blah :D

Anyway...I will be sending it tomorrow to get the format changed so we can email the newsletter to everyone and from there we will get it printed and in the LFS.

Again, thanks to everyone who helped and sent in pics!!!!! The photo contest was a tough decision...and the winner is...(drum roll please)...
