Articles submitted should be in a “Ready-to-Publish” condition.  Suggestions to make your article are:

Check your spelling. A misspelled word can change the mood of the message.

Observe grammar and rules of punctuation to the best of your ability.

Make sure calendars have correct information. If you are not sure… don't submit. Most would rather have no information and keep looking for it than the wrong information and miss the event.

Keep paragraphs short and succinct.

Be careful and monitor how you use sarcasm or humor on your page because your message may not be received in the spirit that it was meant.

Do write in a non-opinioned format. Save the attitude for a different venue.

Use of non-standard writing will hamper the ability and desire of others to receive the information you are sharing.

   Focus on one subject per message area.

Separate subjects by lines or spaces. Just make sure the themes do not run together and confuse the viewer and convey incorrect information.

    Make sure calendars have correct information. If you are not sure… don't post. Most would rather have no information and keep looking for it than the wrong information and miss the event.

All Adult members contact information in articles (Names, Telephone Numbers, Email addresses)  Must be authorized in writing with a signature. 

All Youth members contact information in articles (Names, Telephone Numbers, Email addresses)  Must be authorized in writing with a signature the Youth Parent  or Guardian.
