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.

oh, I got to the website, just the link to go the newsletter does not work. A blank page is all I get. The rest of the site looks great, but the Program page needs updated! Hard to believe it is already April 2012! Yep 1/3 of the year GONE already!

If I hadn't already witnessed the problem they had when the current editor wanted to give a title to the newsletter, I would canvass the members. However, half the membership wasn't interested and the other half couldn't agree on anything, so it was dropped. I hesitate to open that can of worms again :-)

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.

Though if you do a website remember to renew it as needed. We didn't and had to change out website.
