Title: FW: Newsletter Corrections?
----------
Rick, as you see I am forwarding this to the board for more input.
First let me make sure that I understand correctly. You are talking about email correction to gsas-member list?
At first thought, given that there is probably always going to be some omission or error in the newsletters, I am bit cool to the idea of being burdened with electronic corrections on an on going basis. I do appreciate your thought that it likely would be positively received by individuals effected.
As standard practice, I intend to print in the following newsletter all corrections and omissions that come to my attention.
I think it is important to bear in mind that this is a club. We are all volunteers. It takes hard work, which in most clubs is done, at any given time, by a few members. The more members enjoy their "work", the better the club and when they stop having fun they tend to fade away and the club suffers.
>From my point, editor and personal, this is small thing and although I prefer not to do electronic corrections, I am ok with what ever board would like. I will save my battle energy for the really big stuff some day ;->
June

Hi June,
I was wondering what you thought about my suggestion (in response to Michael Vuu¹s email) that we could send out an email correction to ³most² of our membership regarding his phone number?
Another reason that it came to mind this morning is that I¹m typing up the minutes of the last board meeting. In comparing the list of new members in the minutes to the list published in the newsletter, I¹ve discovered that Bruce Fischer¹s name was not published. I¹ve had a couple brief discussions with him at past meetings just enough to know that he¹s a detail-oriented nut like me and I¹m sure he would have noticed the omission. I also know that he happens to be one of the members that is subscribed to the Members-email-list, so he would receive the correction if we do send one.
If you are in agreement with the idea, I think it would be best coming from you, as the editor. And, I¹m not suggesting that it sound like some ³Grand Apology² by any means. These things happen all the time; and will undoubtedly happen again. I have in mind something with a ³positive spin².
