K.I.S.S. always works best...keep it simple sweetie!
with postage what it is these days, the less the more! If your guild does a website or blog, then put more info there..but keep the mailing to a minimum! |

I just finished our guild newsletter today. Go ahead and take a look. http://dufferinpiecemakers.org/
Newsletters can be very time consuming but I really enjoy putting ours together. could not bring up anything with the newsletter link! |
If the link won't work for you, just google Dufferin Piecemakers and you'll find it. The link I gave does work but maybe not for you. Sorry.

You might want to surf around ... I've found a lot of Guild Newsletters are posted on their site.
Some I've been impressed ... some I went *gasp* and said, why bother? |

It might be an idea to survey your membership ... and get a better handle of what their likes/dislikes/suggestions are!

A Calendar section for upcoming events and reminders, A tip of the month section, A Birthday Section, Spotlight on Jane Quilter (each newsletter have a little 'interview' with different members telling how they got started, their preferred techniques, etc.)....and the usual news...I LOVE doing newsletters!

Information about guild activities. Give other board members a date each month to have information to you that needs to be included. If not there on time, not included. If you set the ground rules from the start much less hassle. Ours has mostly information for activities of guild. Information on speakers and workshops coming up. Sometimes includes information submitted by members pertaining to quilting products such as sprays, mat, batting. Anything to educate our members. Our main goal is to teach and share quilting with others.

My guild has a website where our newsletters are posted. It has lots of different information and is available to everyone. This way only a few hard [paper] copies of the newsletter are mailed out. The website had been relatively easy to maintain too.
www.paga.net Though if you do a website remember to renew it as needed. We didn't and had to change out website. ali |
