Only the newsletter coordinators will see your gorgeous formatting.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a picture (like the Allenby Fun Fair logo) that you\u2019d like to include, attach it to your email.

If the newsletter coordinators do not hear back from you by the deadline, and can\u2019t figure out what to do,they may decide not to include your information that week.<\/li>\n<li>If you know you will have something to go in the newsletter and you cannot make the deadline, please contact the newsletter coordinators. They can usually accommodate if they know ahead of time (especially if your content is pre-approved).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Deadlines<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday noon\u00a0\u2013 Newsletter coordinators must receive all necessary information<\/li>\n<li>Thursday 6 pm \u2013 Newsletter coordinators send draft to APA chairs for approval<\/li>\n<li>Friday 10:00 am \u2013 Newsletter is sent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the APA newsletter will be sent on Thursday rather than Friday due to a holiday or PD day, the deadlines above will fall one day earlier (e.g. the newsletter coordinators must receive all necessary information by Tuesday noon).<\/p>\n<h2>Website<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Most of the APA newsletter information gets posted on the APA website as well.
