Yes, it's always tough to get articles for the newsletters, isn't it! I
wish we could offer a prize or something to entice people!

I'm not sure what she is expecting, but some are also members of other,
larger Sections that do more newsletters and so she may have just been
grousing b/c she was in a bad mood about something else....I don't know
but I told her assistant that she will be hearing from us soon on our
Spring CLE and that we are a small Section and just do the one CLE in
the Spring and usually 1 newsletter. She was fine, just a little
abrupt.....but that's ok...

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

    Thanks for the morale boost. The last one did go out last May (see
attachment). I am shooting for the same time frame this year, but
frankly I am still scrambling for some content. On that note, Neal may
I assume you will be writing a "Comments from the Chair" piece?

    Just out of curiosity, what is this person expecting for her $20?

R,

"Chris, Chris, he's our man, if he can't answer, nobody can!" I think
we should find out from Chris and then you can let her know, since she
contacted you. We did decide to switch to electronic this year, I
believe, after running down any possible objections. Do we know if she
got one last year? Do we have her email address to send the electronic
one this year?
I can reply to her if you think that's what she needs. But Chris will
have the up to date scoop.

Hi,

Sorry to change the subject, but I just heard from an unhappy
member...they haven't received a publication from us and they pay
Section dues.....etc......I told her I thought the last one was May
2009, does that sound right to you?

I told her that the Section normally does one newsletter per year, but
you know, if we went to an electronic version of the newsletter, we
could send them out more frequently...should I ask Chris about the
status of the newsletter or it might mean more if it comes from
you...what do you think?
