> 6-PACK is currently looking for clubmembers who are interested in helping
out with the publishing of the club's magazine. After several years, Corey
has decided to pass the editor's torch to another deserving individual. The
ideal person would have a knowledge of desktop publishing such as Adobe CE
(Pagemaker) or Quark Express and a knowledge of the club's issues and
operations.

> As most of youy are aware, the magazine is several issues behind, and
we're working on addressing this problem (I heard that the mailing labels
arrived at the printer's today...hooray!). When Corey took over for Kerry,
we knew that we would be keeping the quality high at the expense of
timeliness. But, as a paying club member, you deserve better. Most of the
club's officers have heard from members who (rightfully so) are disappointed
as of late, and for that, I apologize. I'd also like to thank those of you
who stand by the club and understand that it takes approximately 80-100
hours to produce an issue. We're all volunteers, who have jobs, families,
and basements that flood (guess who rented a power auger at Home Deopt last
night?) I would also like to point out that although Corey is the
magazine's "front man", he is not to blame for the most recent delay; the
magazine has been delayed several weeks through no fault of his own.

> The club officers have also discussed the possibility of a magazine
"team", consisting of possibly an editor, laypout person, printer liason,
adverting sales, etc. The quality of the magazine has grown to the point
where it appears to be too much for any one person; therefore, the team
approach. If you are interested in this critical club position, or want to
help out in a lesser role, please contact me off the list at this email
address or at brg69tr6@juno.com so we can discuss this further. In
addition, you can do your part by submitting "copy" (human interest articles
or technical) or high resolution digital photographs for the
magazine...Kerry always said that it was half the battle generating content
for the newsletter.
