Due to the number of requests for newsletters, inserts, and general information in a newspaper-style format, the following series is posted for review and use. If one of these articles matches the venue in which you work, feel free to use it. Please keep in mind that the original target audience resides in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The text can simply be cut-n-pasted from the webpage into a word processor. Please cite the author and acknowledge Michigan State University Extension. Each article also includes a suggested trailer. Byline images are posted at the bottom of this page. And lastly, please let Bill Cook know which articles that you use, the name of the publication, and the expected printing date. He tracks article use for job evaluation purposes. The articles are arranged by year and month (numbers 1 - 12), the most recent years first, going back to July, 1997. We'll try to keep these pages current. |
