Newsletters

Still working on this calendar, but the front is looking pretty good so far (similar to last year’s calendar, but with different art and colors).

Sent this one off to press on Thursday. As always, J.S. Printing does an amazingly fast job with newsprint. I submitted the newsletter just before 4 p.m. (their cutoff time) on Thursday and it is shipped Friday afternoon to the mail house for sorting and bulk mailing. Extremely fast.

The print quality (black and white only–the color version shown is for the web only) isn’t extraordinary, but it is printed on recycled material for an extremely good price and at an amazing turnaround.

I’d suggest using them for any newsprint needs that require a quick turnaround at an extremely competitive price.

Now, I’m off to finish the Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama Art Calendar (*Vance, are you reading?) before tomorrow.

 

Just wrapped up a newsletter for CGH Insurance Group (The CGH Insider). It is an online only newsletter. This marked the 53rd issue of the newsletter I’ve completed. For this issue, I went back and compiled the interviews I’ve done over the years–pretty standard stuff, but still… www.cghinsurance.com/newsletter/. I’ve also made a few corrections to the Tombigbee RC&D Council’s website: www.tombigbeercd.com–more to come on that website in the next couple of weeks.

I’m about to finish my monthly newsletter for the Alabama Chapter of the Sierra Club (The Alabama Sierran). I’ll be sending it to the printer tomorrow. I finished a postcard for Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama last week, but, since I don’t have anything else to post today, thought I’d toss it out here–very nice photos of some Alzheimer’s patients–not taken by me… Now, back to working on the Alzheimer’s art calendar.

This week is dedicated to wrapping up the remaining newsletters for August and the Alzheimer’s calendar. Next week is all about Alabama tourism: a major redo of the Alabama Scenic Byways website (www.alabamabyways.org) along with some substantial work on a website for Bibb County and updates for the Alabama Front Porches website: www.alabamafrontporches.com.

Lots to do this week, but have gotten a few things behind me. I finished a quick brochure for Alabama Communities of Excellence last week. More work to do for them in the coming week.

Now, I’m wrapping up a web newsletter for the American Institute of Architects, Birmingham Chapter this afternoon. Tomorrow, I’ve really got to get going on the Alzheimer’s calendar for 2009 before an afternoon meeting with my friend from ALZCA, Vance Holder.

Also on the agenda this week, the Bibb County tourism website, more preparation for the Alabama Byways Signage workshop and a quick update to the CGH Insurance Group website–it seems we broke it when moving it to another server (well, it didn’t really break as much as get replaced with an older version).

There’s always something, but tonight it is time for another sourdough pizza–last night’s was extremely good, if I do say so. The new, wetter dough I’m experimenting with in my recipes seems to be making a difference with a more flavorful, more bubbly dough. Let’s see what a night in the refrigerator will do for it!
