Meet some fish in the RHSA pool...

Erin Crenshaw
Erin is a rep from TLHC who has put a lot of long hours into this organization. We are always excited to see her smiling face. Here’s some fun facts about this awesome person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: I enjoy the Thaiger Room for food and Gossip for bubble tea. - Why did you get involved in RHSA: Peer Pressure. I was also enticed by the prospect of free food.
- Major: I'm undecided, but leaning towards mathematics. I love numbers. My favorite toy as a kid was my graphing calculator. - Favorite thing about your hall: The cool people. Sometimes...I can't handle all the fun. - Favorite Husky Sport: I guess football. I like the Huskies, but I'm really a Memphis Tigers fan. There isn't much I can do to change that, though. It's genetic.
- Favorite program so far this year: I liked Bingo Night at the beginning of the year. Even though my prize was lame, I had a really good time. - When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: Candy. But I always sneak it in. Movie theater prices are insane.
Erica Gonzalez
Erica is a rep from MacCity who has been an amazing RHSA Rep, as well as a tremendous asset to her Hall Council. Here’s some more information about this fantabulous person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: anywhere where there's tofu pho!
- Why did you get involved in RHSA: My roommates dragged me along to a MacCity meeting and I ended up loving that, so I applied for an RHSA Rep. position when a spot opened to get more involved.
- Major: I'm thinking Linguistics, but I'm not sure yet. I've always wanted to be a preschool or elementary school teacher and I love to travel, so my ideal job would be teaching English in a foreign country. - Favorite thing about your hall: The balconies! My cluster's balcony is on the 11th floor facing the water AND the helicopter pad. It's awesome!
- Favorite Husky Sport: Men's soccer - Favorite program so far this year: Winterfest!
- When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: I prefer to smuggle in goldfish and cereal, I'm not that fond of candy or popcorn.

SNAPS!

SNAPS! This week go out to TLHC for putting on an amazing program, May Daze, this past weekend.
SNAPS! Also go out to all the new Hall Council Presidents and Vice Presidents. We can’t wait to see what you can do!

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.
