ALCON,
It is time to start compiling articles and inputs for the first Division 89 newsletter of 2011. Please see below for your respective inputs. I want to thank all the chapters and folks in the division that submitted articles last year, your efforts ensured a back to back win for best Division Newsletter in AFSA. Hopefully we will be the best in AFSA again for 2011. The reason our newsletter is so good is because of the great inputs we get from the field. Please help to continue this great tradition in Division 89. Suspense for inputs is 15 September 2011.
Our news release form is working very well and it also made my life much easier. I’ve attached a copy of the news release and the instructions for completion are below. I would like to get our chapters in the habit of submitting articles as you complete different events. This will allow me to get your story up on the Division 89 website immediately and have that information ready to go when the next newsletter comes around. Please coordinate with your communications trustee to submit this form for each of your chapter events. We want to get your story out to the rest of AFSA.

Chapter Presidents
I’m looking for articles of what your chapter has done over the first four months of 2011 (Jan-Apr). This can be anything from recruiting events, community support, military events etc. You can provide multiple inputs and pictures are highly desirable, the more the better. This is the time to show why your chapter is the best in the Division.
Division Officers
I need articles from the division on any administrative changes, trustee reports, membership numbers, and an input from the division and auxiliary presidents.
