SNAPS!

SNAPS! This week go out to Phuong for her fantabulous RHSA report this week!
SNAPS! Also go out to the Earth Day volunteers for taking time out of their Saturdays to give back to nature.
Lastly, SNAPS! Go out to the ASUW Endorsement Committee for all their hard work and dedication. Amber thanks you all setting aside so much time to dedicate to this committee, and her stomach also appreciated all the junk food during deliberations.

Meet some of our special and unique reps...

Michele Johnson
Michele is a rep from MC2 who has also take on the extra duties of being co-chair in TeRHHiFiC. Her hard work and dedication never go unnoticed. Here’s some fun facts about this awesome person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: Tokyo Garden... but when it comes to drinks - gotta go to Trabant & hit up their chai - Why did you get involved in RHSA: Funny story, actually. First hall council meeting we were all tricked into coming because it would win our floor points for all hall brawl. And then you see, they needed more reps so a certain someone (cough Amara) said there would totally be FREE FOOD at the meetings. So as usual, I heard that and was all "vote me!" It was a done deal. And the truth comes out...Oh and all the boys, for sure. - Major: Pre-med. Any other ideas? - Favorite thing about your hall: We got the biggest rooms & the best coffee joint on campus. Gotta love Ians. Oh... and I get to be so close to the leadership office of course! - Favorite Husky Sport: Volleyball. But to be honest, I don't have the time to watch sports
Favorite program so far this year: Field Day haha... no really, I think I choose all of Winterfest. Nice job Mike! - When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: Growing up I was all about the sweets but now I'm more of a popcorn lady
Melvin Donaldson
Melvin is a rep from SMAC who has been with us since the beginning of the year. RHSA is always happy to hear him say “Point of Order.” Here’s some more information about this fantabulous person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: Thai places
- Why did you get involved in RHSA: I got involved with RHSA because I was elected to be a rep at the beginning of the year
- Major: I am a Bioengineering major - Favorite thing about your hall: I love the long walk from Mercer
- Favorite Husky Sport: I most like Husky Swimming - Favorite program so far this year: I really enjoyed Hug Therapy
- When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: Junior Mints, popcorn makes my hands and mouth feel weird

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.

The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.

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.
