[QCWA Hotlist] Chapter Reports for the May eJournal

[Myron Cherry]

If you would like 
to submit a chapter report for the May QCWA eJournal, it must be received April 
1. Those received after that date will go in the June eJournal.  
Please email your chapter report to qcwaeditor at gmail.com with a 
copy to k4ya at qcwa.org.  If you include a photo, 
use a JPEG file and don’t forget to include a caption for the photo. 
 In the email subject line, please include your chapter name and 
number.  
 
We greatly 
appreciate that the vast majority of you have been limiting your chapter reports to 750 
words and a maximum of two photos as we have requested.  Unfortunately a few 
have been ignoring this.  Compared to the printed journal this provides more 
than four times the word count and three times the photo submissions over the 
same time period.  Putting the eJournal together is a very time consuming 
process.  As our editor first puts the eJournal together, parts of it literally 
have to be typed in.  It is not a simple matter of copy and paste.  Before the 
eJournal is placed on the website for members to download, proofreaders have 
also spent much time looking for errors.  Their corrections are submitted to our 
editor who makes the corrections before the eJournal is made available to the 
membership.  Very long chapter reports, over 750 words and over two photos, 
requires even more time.  This in turn makes it more difficult and time 
consuming.  Additionally it delays the availability of the eJournal to the 
membership.  So again, we respectfully request that you limit your chapter 
reports to no longer than 750 words and two photos maximum.
