From the Editor: The Newsletter Committee unanimously approved a new procedure for
the 2013 Ross L. Shipman Newsletter Contest. Awards will be announced at the 2014
TXSSAR Annual Meeting. Chapter Newsletter Editors should send one copy each of their four
best newsletter issues for 2013 in one single batch of hardcopies to the Chairman of the
Newsletter Committee, as shown below. Only hard-copy print-outs will be accepted. This in-
cludes newsletters that are normally distributed electronically. All batches must be delivered
by U.S. Mail no later than January 1, 2014. A maximum of four newsletter issues per chapter
will be accepted for judging. If a chapter publishes more than four issues per year, the Chap-
ter Newsletter Editor should submit what he considers his best four. While black-and-white
issues will be considered, color issues may have a competitive advantage.
F inally, please observe the following deadlines for submission of items for The Texas
Compatriot: September 15 for the Fall Issue, January 15 for the Winter issue, and May 15
for the Spring issue.
