Guidelines  for  Submittals

In the interests of avoiding partisan issues or controversies, or creating an
excessive burden on the volunteers who make this valuable information
service possible, we ask your cooperation in submitting items for the
"Pinecone Telegraph."    Specifically .....

Please focus on announcements that are of wide interest
to our community. A concise note is always better than a
long, rambling one. If it involves an event of some sort, be
sure to include (a) What?, (b) Where? (c) When?
and who to contact for further information.

Anonymous submittals will not be accepted.
Please include your name in or at the end of
the notice so that people know who to contact
if they have questions.

While it may be tempting to send in an editorial regarding
a partisan issue in an election year, please avoid doing so.
You are welcome to announce a meeting at your home
(or wherever) to discuss an issue, but the "Pinecone
Telegraph" is not the forum to use to promote
any particular point of view.

If there really is something that is of a partisan or
controversial nature, that you feel strongly should
be circulated to the West Shore community, please
submit it to the WACC Board of Directors for review.

Please use the local newspaper as the advertising
medium for garage sales, "looking for something" ads,
talent available ads, and the like.

The "Pinecone Telegraph" is maintained on a time-available
basis. Please don't wait until the last moment and then
panic if something doesn't get posted an hour after
you submit it. It may take a day or two under "normal"
circumstances; even longer if key people are away.

Our general practice is to simply copy the submittal
as it is received, and then post it on the website.
Don't expect  any regular editing!  
P L E A S E
proof your submittal before you send it,
and ask yourself whether it might offend
anyone in the community. As with any e-mail,
please be aware that it may be forwarded
by recipients to others you've never heard of!

Notices are normally deleted a couple of weeks after
they are first posted.  If something needs to remain
before the community for a longer period, please
consider using a hard copy poster on the physical
bulletin boards at the mail boxes.

Thanks for your cooperation!
