Microsoft Word - Lesson 06:
Making a Newsletter
A
newsletter is something a business or organization will produce and distribute
on a regular basis (monthly or bimonthly). The newsletter is a publication that
can be for public reading or for the members or workers of a business or
organization. The newsletter usually covers recent happenings, changes in
policy, updates on information, and information on anything else management or
owners decide they want to divulge.
You
have the choice of either doing this project alone or as a member of a group.
The group will consist of the people on your table. In either case you or your
team will need to design a newsletter for your company or organization. Check to
