I have had a couple of requests to send a Region newsletter to the Publications Committee via email (some say electrically). This is absolutely unacceptable for the Newsletter Contest. Each member of the Committee receives up to 155 newsletters each month of the year. Downloading and printing newsletters that are sent electrically would be very cost prohibitive (think of the cost of ink for example) and very time consuming, to say the least. If we accept one newsletter this way, we are open to having to accept all newsletters this way and as I said above, that is unacceptable. Electrically sent newsletters will not be downloaded or graded. There can be no exceptions.
