How We Do It

Nov 21, 2000

by Mario Caoile

When the vacancy for the BWNA editor opened up, Helen and I thought, well, why not? We needed something to take our minds off our decimated stock portfolio. After 12 years of living in the neighborhood, we went to our first BWNA meeting.... Oops!

Helen is the chief editor and advertising person and I design the pages, although our roles overlap at times. This project is a learning experience for us and we are getting to know our neighbors. We cannot do it, however, without the writers who contribute articles.

Tools we use: Adobe PageMaker, Photoshop, a scanner. A less expensive alternative is Microsoft Publisher. Prepare to spend long hours if you want to produce a fine newsletter.
