Once again, here is the information for the Pod Newsletter Competition.

July 26, 2011

Subject:  CASI Newsletter Contest

TO:  Great Peppers

        POD Newsletter Editors

I am pleased to announce there will be a CASI Newsletter Contest this year.  The TOP 3 winners will be presented a nice trophy from the stage at TICC on Saturday.

I highly encourage your POD to submit your newsletter for consideration.  A newsletter for the purpose of this contest is:  "A document containing information for POD members that is sent to the POD membership by email or the U.S. Postal Service". If your POD has not had a newsletter - this would be a good time to "create" one.  FACEBOOK and WEB SITES are good means of communicating with members, but a POD newsletter is the basic communication for ALL your members.

The contest rules are as follows:

  1.  A POD may submit from one to three newsletters published during 2011.  The deadline for entries is September 20th.

  2.  Entries will be sent to Ken Rodd either by email - casihotrodd@aol.com or postal mail to:  Ken Rodd, 7009 S IH-35, Austin, TX 78744

  3.  The newsletters will be judged by 6 judges from various parts of the USA.  Judges do not know who the other judges are.

We look forward to a lot of entries in this year's Newsletter Contest.  We know you are doing good work out there - let us recognize you and your POD for what you do!!!!

If you have any questions please email me or call me on my cell phone.
