  • MIFC - Newsletter Assistance, Please.

    Hello Everyone,

    As newsletter editor I am dedicated to bring the best newsletter content to this club as a whole. As part of this goal I will need assistance from everyone.
    • In order to fill Page 4 when we do not have club meeting minutes, for a particular issue, I would like to have product reviews in it’s place. I know we have purchased products that did not live up to our expectations or products that we tried and now we can’t live without them. We want to know how you feel about that product. Write up a review of that product and your review may be featured in a future issue.
    • We are now taking Ride of the Month submissions. If you would like your car to be featured as a Member Ride, please submit you vehicle information in a similar format as the current Featured Member Ride on Page 5.
    • If you have a Firebird Tech/How To Article that you would like to submit for the Firebird Club Monthly Newsletter it would be greatly appreciated. Your Firebird Tech/How To Article may be featured in a future issue.
    Please send all submissions of Tech/How To Articles or Reviews to me at mifcnewsletter@gmail.com.

    Submissions are reviewed and will be credited to the people that author them.

    Thank You,
    David Farina

      Yeah, it is going to be a fairly good sized newsletter.

      It will be:
      7 pages (5 info pages) on months that we do not have a club meeting
      8 pages (6 info pages) on months that we have a club meeting.

          Newsletter Tip: Use should always do an even number of pages, so when printed on both sides you don't have a blank page.

            Yeah, was just thinking about that last night just before I went to bed.

            Now I need to figure out what to put on that blank page when we do not have a club meeting. Maybe I will insert a page with the club merchandise on it.




            Ok, I received a good article from Jeff (81DaytonaPaceCar) that will be split between a couple issues of the newsletter. If any one had more submissions for the Tech/How To Articles please keep sending them. They will no doubt be published in future issues, since this will be a monthly newsletter.

            Thanks Again.

                No, it is not 14-16 pages. It is 8 pages (max) in the digital PDF (4 pieces of paper printed in duplexed mode).

                Most WMCC newsletters that I have seen are 6-8 pages in the PDF file (3-4 pieces of paper printed in duplexed mode).

                  We've (WMCC) have had up to 12 pages. If you notice though the last page is a cover page for mailing. You fold the newsletter in half and it leaves a place for addressing it.

                    Here is a glimpse of the formating of the newsletter.
                    (Sorry to make the pics so small, but I do not want to spoil the first newsletter with a premature release.)
