[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

[Robert Newman]

Good brainstorming you guys, I'm keeping notes.

The division's business is always open for comment and suggestions. And also
for a volunteer to jump up and ask if he or she may assist!

well,
as sponsorship I was wondering for example if it is okay to name a sponsor
on our website and in S&S.

I was thinking sponsors like Humanware, Freedom Scientific, nfb's
independence mart, etc.

I do like the idea of  other divisions being approached for sponsorship
consideration.
I think that potentially sponsorship can work the other way too.  if for
example Guide Dogs for the Blind were a sponsor, they might also include our
division's info and the contest details in some of their publications, too.

just brainstorming.
