Increasing responsibilities and a sample screenshot

As my ability to write and design the chess4life newsletters grows, so to do my responsibilities. Instead of merely writing articles, I'm now in charge of tracking down other coaches and employees to help with the writing duties, giving me the opportunity to outsource the Featured School articles.
We were able to find a few people willing to do this, and already stepped up and gave them responsibilities to keep them busy until June. Here's a screenshot of the emails we send to subscribers by the way, they look a bit different than the version on the website.

Sure has been a while since I posted here!

Since my last post, I've published two newsletters for Chess4Life. In order to finish my tasks I've had to drive around town gathering information on company events, interview prominent figures from both inside and outside the company, speak with students for our featured student of the month column, and of course write articles based on the information I glean.
So far we've consistently featured one student of the month, and a chess puzzle, and a school spotlight focusing on one of the schools chess4life visits to offer chess lessons and seminars for students to attend. Links to all past newsletters can be found here.
Not featured on that page, however, are the emails I send to subscribers using iContact, a mass emailing program required a bit of skill with both word processing and graphic design to utilize. I'll include a screen shot of that in my next post.
