Hi all,
I’ve attached the Labelle Lifeline Newsletter, a publication of the SCs Diane and Victoria.
As we discussed yesterday, the nuances of newsletters can be confusing, but the basic guidelines for newsletters in the CSI co-ops are:
1. SCs can produce their own newsletters highlighting issues/resources/services of the SC program. CSI has asked that you have your co-op leadership team review it at your monthly meeting (President, FCRC Chair, Education Chair and Liaison) prior to publication) to make sure that it dovetails nicely with CSI policies and procedures and just to offer a second set of eyes for proofreading. Content must be original to the SC (ie no content from members).
2. SCs should not submit content or be interviewed for the Co-op newsletter if your co-op has a newsletter. Some of your members have approached you about writing a guest column for their newsletter and CSI has requested that you respectfully decline. This publication is meant for the members and is their place to shine.
I’ve also attached Operation ABLE’s printing instructions in case you are inclined to produce a monthly, quarterly, semi annal, or annual newsletter. This is completely optional. The newsletter has been well received by Labelle members, liaison, and Sheila.
Thanks Diane and Victoria for blazing the trail.
Sincerely,
Rachel
