This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

This story can fit 150-200 words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.

This story can fit 75-125 words.
Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.
Think about your article and ask yourself if the picture supports or enhances the message you’re trying to convey. Avoid selecting images that appear to be out of context.
Microsoft Publisher includes thousands of clip art images from which you can choose and import into your newsletter. There are also several tools you can use to draw shapes and symbols.
Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article. Be sure to place the caption of the image near the image.

EXTRA

WORLD FRIENDSHIP FUND
Thank you to SR501 Wood Badgers for a contribution of $175.19 to the World Friendship Fund.

Battling Bobwhites take the Fort by storm. As a closing to a great Wood Badge weekend in which the Bobwhite Patrol received the brunt of critter tastes, the Battling Bobwhite accepted all challenges with the Wood Badge spirit in which it was intended. It is difficult to be living at the bottom of the food chain but, hey, somebody has to do it.

Attention all Wood Badgers
Training Week end Number 1 is completed. Remember that week end number 2 will be at boy scout camp t. brady saunders. All participant equipment will be backpacked to gilwell field (TBS activity field) for assembly, then back-packed to your assigned campsite. Please, no vehicles beyond the tbs administrative parking lot.

Editor’s Note: I wish to extend an apology to the Eagle Patrol for misplacing their patrol input to the Gazette. Their menu was turn-in early Day 2 and was filed and overlooked during the wee-hours when the Gazette was finalized.

Have a safe and enjoyable trip home until we meet again on October 4th.
