The Communications Committee is preparing another Newsletter for an early April printing and they request the following:
Dear Coastal Community,
The newsletter committee of the Texas Chapter of the ASBPA is seeking article submissions for the spring edition of the “The Strand Line” newsletter. The Strand Line newsletter is a forum where any and all coastal related information, ideas, and interests may be shared with the statewide community. Our goal is to provide a conduit to increase exposure for people, projects, and policy along the Texas Coast in particular, and for all coastal related activities and locations in general.
Articles are generally between 500 and 1,000 words (roughly half a page to a page). All articles may be submitted directly to Cris Weber at cweber@ljaengineering.com or Jayne McClure at jdmcclure@gba-inc.com. Please insure permission to publish articles and photographs or imagery before submission. We would like to receive all articles by April 7th for the spring edition, which will be released before the next Chapter Meeting on May 4 in Port Aransas. We look forward to hearing from everyone. Write often and submit freely.
Thanks,
The Newsletter Committee
The Communications Committee has done an outstanding job with the “The Strand Line” Newsletters that have been published since the inception of our Texas Chapter so help us keep up the effort and please send in your articles to Cris or Jayne.
Many thanks again for your help and support and don’t forget, our next meeting in Part Aransas on May 4.
Many thanks,
Jerry Mohn
President, Texas ASBPA Chapter |
