[Oabs] Newsletter

[Kaiti Shelton]

2 votes for The Student Tribune then!  Any other informal votes?  I'm
partial to the Scholastic Sentinel, but that might just be because it
rhymes.

I talked to Barbara, and the deadlines she aims for with the bulletin
are December, April, and August.  We could do something like February,
late may or early June, late July or early August, and then November.
August will overlap with the bulletin, but that's okay since it's
right after convention time.

Now, the question is, would we want to shoot for February as our first
issue, or wait till May or June?  Christmas break would be a good time
to submit articles regardless, and this can be very free writing.
Write about what is currently going on in your life, stories about
growing up as a blind kid and learning lessons about blindness and
life in general, and news stories about different events we're
involved in as a division.  Barbara said she will lift stories from
our newsletter and print them in the state bulletin, and she may also
send a few that she thinks will be good for the Monitor to Gary
Wunder.  Debbie Kent Stein usually reads all things NFB as well, so
some things may also get into Future Reflections.
