Title: Member Spotlight
Post by: GTRS Fiero on February 21, 2018, 11:42:33 pm
This is an opportunity to showcase your Fiero, and share your Fiero story.  Submissions from this survey will be included in the newsletter by random selection, as space permits.


You may find the survey here (http://gafieroclub.org/pics/pip/tshark/Newsletters/Member Spotlight.pdf).

Well, I hope Mike liked how his spotlight came out.  He knew how the wording would read, more or less, but not the presentation.

There were additional spotlight submissions, but new member spotlight submissions are always welcome.  The remaining spotlights will be used at later dates.

The first page of the newsletter was originally planned to look differenty, but that image fit in well with the theme for the newsletter, and there was nowhere else that image could have gone.

A member spotlight is planned in the next few months.  If you would like to be considered, please submit the completed form above, along with some pictures of you and your Fiero.

May I suggest a tribute to Granny Linda?

GrannyLinda will not be forgotten.  I have a few words for her, but not enough for an article.  I would need more content, and perhaps some pics.

The spotlight articles have been every 4th month.  Usually, they are ready several months in advance.  Sometimes, I have several, and just keep working on them until they are ready.  In the case of yours, I had one ready to go, and was not up for the additional time to start fresh with another one, in time to have it ready for April.  To have swapped the member spotlight for April would have meant changing the front page, among other things.

The newsletters, as made public, are the culmination of months of work.  There are articles that have been in progress for more than 1 year, and have not yet been published.  The belt tensioner article, for example, was written 2 months ago.  The grandiose ideas for the July front page were from a year ago, but what you saw were the limits of my abilities to implement those ideas.  The May front page sat out there for more than a year.  The March front page sat out there for about 6 months.  Other front pages were finalized the month the newsletter was published.

Trinten's spotlight was actually scheduled for August (actually, his spotlight was already in place, ready to go), but was bumped to December.  That was a re-work, but was fair to GrannyLinda, because she was never going to submit a spotlight of her own.

This may come as a surprise, but the newsletter is not a strength of mine.  It was something I could do for the club, so no one could fairly claim that I was not contributing.  Actually, it surprised me when it came up in conversation that someone thought I did this elsewhere for a living.
