- As e-mail or an attachment to an e-mail letter.
Always include the chapter name and the location of the chapter, institution and/or city.
Identify all copy sheets with the name of the chapter and the name and address of the person sending the copy.
Photographs are desired:
- Black and white or color is acceptable;
- Identify, with first and last names, all people in the photograph, whenever possible;
- Give the name of the person who took the photograph, whenever possible.
- Hints for good photographs:
- Take photographs as close up as possible, photographing people from the waist up (most of the time, legs and feet are not important);
- Choose a well-lit area for the photograph;
- Avoid "busy" backgrounds or backgrounds that are very light, e.g. windows;
- Focus carefully (auto-focus cameras are not infallible!);
- Photographs with one to five people work best, but large-group photos are sometimes used, especially photos of new groups of initiates;
- Photographs of people doing something, rather than merely posed and smiling at the camera, are interesting.
Keep a copy of all the material you send.
Submit
All submissions and further questions should be directed to Marcia Williams, Editor. Contact information can be found in the Fall issue of Tempo! or from webmaster@sai-national.org.
