Some tasks that need to be done

To all staff members:

Our Business Manager, Saniya Waghray, is looking for a few staff members to help her plan fundraisers and sell advertisements in order to raise money for the newspaper. Please email her at Pointe_princess18@yahoo.com if you are interested.

We are also looking for some staff members to help update our bulletin board (the one next to the side entrance of the cafeteria). We will soon be redecoration and including new features that we will update regularly. Please email the DA gmail account if you are interested in helping.

Both of these tasks are great ways to mingle with other staff members and show your commitment to the paper. Please seriously consider assisting us.

Article Topics -Important!

For some reason, when we entered names of writers and artists onto the electronic version of the topic list for the November Issue, the changes we made did not save. Therefore, we do not have a complete list of who is writing and producing art for each story topic.

Please, email Mrs. Kupiec at ckupiec@bernardsboe.com ASAP with your assignment for this issue. We need to have your topics on record!!

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate your timely cooperation.

Also, please note the change in one of our sectional meeting dates: Features will now only meet in the morning on Friday, Oct. 9, and the location has been changed to Mrs. Kupiec's room, Rm. 214.
