Chapter Newsletter - Template 3
The template provided was created so chapters may fill in their own text. Please maintain spacing throughout the publication as shown below. Newsletters should be produced only in this format or one of the other two options provided.
Your chapter may preprint the masthead and mailing information in one- or two-colors creating a shell. Each month either your chapter or your chapter's commercial printer will fill in the shell with black text. For example, if everything in color on the following two graphics were printed in advance, all the text in black is what would be printed each month.
Commercial Printing
Provide your printer with the following items:
Address to this website (www.agacgfm.org/publications/identity/news3.aspx)
Mailing address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address and website address
Chapter name
Text (If printing monthly rather than printing shells as mentioned above)
Specify quantity
Specify color:
Two-color: PMS® 662 (blue) and PMS® 4505 (tan)
Or one-color: Black or PMS® 662 (blue)
