Parade 2010 - Shenandoah Region Porsche Club of America

from the EDITORBen Briggs2010 PCA National Newsletter Results Are In!Porsche Club of America, Shenandoah Region“Nice color with text”“Good photo captions”“Good use of supplemental features and member input”RPM2009“Good contact info and nice reminder to renew PCA”“I liked upcoming event publicity and event reviews page …”…. And we took third in our Zone out of ten contenders, too!The above represent just a few of the comments The HeatExchanger received in the national PCA newsletter contest.This year, we chose to enter our July 2009 and December2009 issues primarily because both issues featured manymember photos and highlighted our year’s biggest events thatreflect the highest membership involvement.JULY 2009InSIde: RPMCoLoR PhotoPULL-oUt!Porsche Club of America, Shenandoah RegionWithout bragging too much, the judges were very impressedwith the use of color on not only the cover but also theinside spread. Yeah, color does sell. Two judges mentionedthe excellent use of typography and layout, and creditshould be given to Brian Becton, of the PrintSource prepressdepartment. Brian is given somewhat free reign over thedesign and layout of the inside spread, and it shows in hiswork.We also received good organizational comments, and I credit“assistant” editor Nancy Vetter … but the without contributingmembers like Sherry Westfall, Alex Smith, Bill Sanders andRick Ebinger, among others, there would be no newsletter toorganize. Last, but not least, we received congratulations onour consistently excellent array of photos which have beensupplied from Bill Sanders and Jim Condon on a consistentbasis. Our brilliant newsletter covers are the work of Jim whonever fails to deliver a stunning photograph of a Porsche froma new and interesting angle.One criticism from the judges was the lack of tech articles.We’d received several good articles in past issues, butunfortunately they were not included in the two issues thatwe submitted. It would be great, however, to see more techarticles …. Or maybe even a regular monthly feature …anybody?All in all, I’m proud of receiving a “bronze” for all of our hardwork, and sincerely appreciate the contributions from ourmembership …. Keep it coming!
