Why have one


It gives a bailliage credibility as well as visibility.

It provides a formal vehicle for the Bailliage officers to communicate information to the membership.

It serves as a historical record of Bailliage activities.

It's more likely to be read than a letter because of its attractive format.

Designing and printing a newsletter

Have a well designed 11 x 17-inch "shell" printed in quantity, or use professionally designed newsletter paper for your newsletter. Make the copy fit the space provided.

Use a printer that will accommodate 11 x 17-inch paper to print your newsletter. If you don't own or have easy access to an 11 x 17-inch printer, print two 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheets front and back and use a copier to create an 11 x 17-inch newsletter.
