Meet some people who keep RHSA afloat...

Chelsey Winchell
Chelsey is a rep from TLHC who has been involved all year, showing a lot of dedication and hard work. She also went to the same high school as our beloved admin. Here’s some fun facts about this awesome person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: Chipotle, of course!!! I could live there! - Why did you get involved in RHSA: Cause my buddy George Washington (we go way back, since I built a time machine and all) said that he participated in it once upon a time, and so I did it. I mean come on, who doesn't take advice that the George gives! - Major: Have no idea whatsoever - Favorite thing about your hall: Living with boys =) - Favorite Husky Sport: Football, since it's the only Husky Sport I watched this year.
- Favorite program so far this year: I like the bingo nights. I always seem to win a lot at the bingo nights. I do like to win things. - When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: Um...definitely candy. At least with candy I can look on the back of the box and know all the horrible stuff that I'm putting in my mouth, whereas there's nothing on the popcorn bag to warn me.
Scott Britton
Scott is an amazing rep from MC2 who has greatly contributed to RHSA General Council and his Hall Council. Here’s some more information about this fantabulous person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: I love Aladdin's Gyrocery because it feels like the greasiest, homeliest, and most downtrodden restaurant on The Ave and yet still manages to serve up some of the finest food available every time I go.
- Why did you get involved in RHSA: I got involved in RHSA at the behest of our current Council Administrator, Ezra Bradford, because we'd started out on a rocky road in McCarty's Exec list, and he'd seen I was taking a lot of interest in council affairs, so he's the one I blame for everything since (and thank, too).
- Major: I'm doing up a Bio major right and purty, because what kind of UW student would I be if I didn't join the throngs of fellow Freshmen who claimed to be pursuing a premed route at one point or another. - Favorite thing about your hall: I'm smitten with the Honors House in McCarty. I don't know of anyone who I don't have something in common with. It's been fantastic.
- Favorite Husky Sport: I've got to admit I'm diggity down with Women's Volleyball. - Favorite program so far this year: Casino Night at McCarty was the best program put on by RHSA during Winterfest and it was unbelievably awesome being involved, what with the time traveling and all.
- When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: I don't think about either, because I'm too busy kicking myself for not just pirating the damn thing.

Enjoy your snacks!

One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.

This story can fit 75-125 words.
Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.
Think about your article and ask yourself if the picture supports or enhances the message you’re trying to convey. Avoid selecting images that appear to be out of context.
Microsoft Publisher includes thousands of clip art images from which you can choose and import into your newsletter. There are also several tools you can use to draw shapes and symbols.
Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article. Be sure to place the caption of the image near the image.

This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
