Terri,
I'd like to do a regular article as well. I have some ideas that I'll run
by you when I get back into town.

Good morning PAS Members,Coffee
I was looking at a periodical that I pick up once in a while called
News. I was at Hibachi Grill last night and they had one and i picked itup
and they have a "Trivia" (they call it) section.with
This gave me an idea for our Newsletter. Rigth now, we are doing well
articles and reviews, and photos for the reviews... but what if we madethe
newsletter more interesting with some Q & A?you,
I was wondering if someone wanted to do a column in the newsletter, where
by they provide 5 short questions, or more or less, it would be up to
and then the answers in a separate paragraph format such that we can put2,
them in 2 different places within the newsletter. The Questions on page
and maybe the answers on page 8 as an example.then
What this newspaper does is the one page (it is only a 2 page item, front
and back) has something like this:
There are 5 questions, but i'm only going to choose 2 of them from the 5
for this example:
3. A grapnel is a nautical term for what?
5. Heliology pertains to the science of what?
And then on another page, we have the Answers:
3. Anchor
5. Sun
The questions & answers would be as long or as short as needed to get the
info out there, kinda like trivia, but we could call it Q & A, for the
title of our article.

Another option would be, and this was suggested by Matt, we could ask the
teachers who we do star parties for, what quesions the kids have for PAS,
and we could look up the answers, and post them to the newsletter, and
give the teachers the links to the answers of those questions. Howeve,rpossible.
this is more work, and I prefer to make this project as simple as
newsletter.
But what i'm looking for is someone to put together the info and just
submit it to me to get it ready, each month, to include in the
We'd make it a featured item in the newsletter for this next PAS Year(Sept
to May issues).the
Does anyone want to work on this kind of item and submit them to me for
newsletter?and
You can make it as simple or as complex as you want.

Another idea is to look up astronomy stuff, and write a brief article...
maybe start with a question about something current that is happening,
then write about it, as far as what you find on the internet and in otherkeep
news sources, and put that in the Newsletter.

I got to thinking, most of our newsletter is reviews of events we have
done, with photos, which is great, because we are using it as a way to
a historic account of what PAS has done, but it is mostly reviews, andnot
much in the way of news to share. Leah's article about the Planets, andarticle
what's up, is great, but she doesn't always have time to make that
get in the newsletter each month, so this would be some additional infoif
that would be awesome to have in the newsletter.
We still need the reviews and photos of those events we did, but it would
be great to have something new for this year. And if it doesn't work out
all year long, we can drop it when it no longer fits the need. I just
wanted something new this year... for the newsletter. We need more people
reading the newsletter. It will also make the newsletter more searchable
we are talking about current events.put
Send me some ideas you have for improving the newsletter and then let's
it to action.Coordinator
Many thanks for the input I got from some of you, about this idea.
