"Name Your Paper"
Got a catchy slogan or name for your publication?
How about a contest for the best name? Be creative and come up with a catchy name and win a free t-shirt. So act now, put on those thinking caps and let us know so we can introduce our new name by the next publication coming in April.
 
Changes in the Making
We're off and running for 1995 with new looks and ideas to spark your interest.
 
Just for a glimpse into what you might expect, we will be sending a publication to you on a quarterly basis to keep you informed on what is happening -- meetings, events, work days, who's who, etc. We want you to be informed so you can be involved.
 
Member's Hotline
Look for SPECIAL UPDATES in this column... -- What you need to know to keep informed.
 
Calendar of Events
Look for things to happen in this column as we'll keep those special dates here for you to let you know what to expect to happen for this quarter.
 
**The key to this column is to keep Carol Studebaker informed of all upcoming events at least one month in prior to publication to allow enough time to get it in print.
 
Know Your Officers!
Look for a profile of the officers and/or board members here in the upcoming publications. Learn to know who they are and a little something about them.
Grandma/Grandpa's Attic
Have you got some old pictures of the Thresheree that could be used in a publication? or some stories that you'd like to share about the Thresheree in its younger days? Give us some feedback and get those wheels turning 'cause we're up and running and rarin' to go!
