| Each year, as new officers and secretaries take over the responsibilities of the club's
business, there is often confusion as to where information needs to be sent when there is something they wish to have published
in the magazine. Please make sure that all articles, calendar listings, advertising, and letters to the editor are sent to the magazine
office - the mailing address, phone, fax and e-mail are all listed at the bottom of the page. Do not send information you wish to
have published to the AWSC office - they must then forward it to the magazine office and deadlines may be missed. If you have
any questions about submitting information, or if you have suggestions for interesting articles, never hesitate to call us! Remember,
the magazine is here as a forum for clubs to share information and to help educate snowmobilers about the important issues facing
our sport. Your input is important! For publishing deadlines for the season of Wisconsin Snowmobile News, along with clarifications for what qualifies as "advertising", "editorial", and "club news". Please remember that all submissions, whether for editorial, club news or advertising, are due in the magazine office no later than 5 p.m. on the deadline date. | |

| DEFINITIONS & GENERAL MAGAZINE INFORMATION | |
| EDITORIAL: The term "Editorial" refers to all articles within the magazine, including Trail Tales, Letters to the Editor, Calendar items, and special club events such as charity rides or fund-raisers, etc. that appear in the Here & There feature. The only exceptions are articles specifically under the heading of "Club News". It is very important that when an article or letter is submitted to the magazine for possible publication, your name, address, and phone number is included so we are able to reach you with any questions or concerns. You may send your articles by regular e-mail, fax or standard mail. | |
| CALENDAR OF EVENTS: Calendar of Events are FREE listings provided as a benefit to our readers who enjoy participating in activities throughout the state and to help promote attendance at your functions. The events listed must be open to the general public. When you're submitting calendar items, they should be written following the format seen in the magazine. List the date, nearest town, sponsoring organization, location, brief description, and a phone number the general public may call for more information. Please do not sent us your club's complete event schedule and expect us to figure out what is open to the public and where the locations of the hosting establishments are. It is your responsibility to provide that information if you want it published. Calendar items are NOT considered Club News and must be submitted separately - by the Editorial Deadline. If you have simply included an event in your club news article, it will not appear in the Calendar listings. | |

| CLUB NEWS: "Club News" articles are those written by the club secretary, or other authorized club representative, to appear specifically in the section of the magazine under the heading of "Club News". These articles are designed to help clubs share ideas and information with one another, such as successful events held, trail projects and improvements, ways of promoting membership growth, etc. Because of the large number of clubs in the state, and the limited amount of space in the magazine, we ask that you keep the length of your club news article to three or four paragraphs. Make sure the information is of interest to the general public, not just your own club members. If your club has participated in an especially interesting activity that you feel deserves special attention, please call us so we can discuss an additional story about it. | |

| PHOTOGRAPHS: Please mail original photos to the magazine office. Photocopies are not accepted. Digital photos are acceptable if a minimum 2 mega-pixel setting is used. If you wish to have your photographs returned, please make sure you put your name and address on the back of the picture using ball point pen - roller ball pens or felt tips will smudge, even after prolonged drying, and may come off on the face of other pictures, permanently disfiguring them. | |
| ADVERTISING: "Advertising" specifically refers to Classified Ads and Display (boxed) Ads that are paid for by the person, business, club or organization wishing to promote their business, service, event, or items for sale. Organizations who purchase advertising space to promote their events are welcome to submit their event as Calendar item as well but remember, calendar items are not advertising. They are "Editorial" and need to be submitted separately from paid advertising, meeting the Editorial deadlines. | |
