Dear Neighbors,
As some of you are already aware, Karen Bynum, editor of this scandal sheet, has joined the diminished ranks of full-time employees. Since she is now salaried, she feels an obligation to show up for work. This necessarily limits the time she can devote to The Paper.
Cherie McKee, long-suffering layout supervisor, has abandoned us for cleaner air and an attached garage.
We need help! We need you.
We need unsolicited contributions, of a literary nature. We need solicited contributions in the form of advertisements.
Above all we need a little of your time. If you feel your art skills were arrested at a pre-school level, cut and paste and call it layout. If you’re more advanced you might try your pen at ad design. Just once a month. A few hectic hours here and there.
Or if you want to participate but can’t find your niche, take on an odd job–transporting galleys to the printer, say. If you have only two hours a month to spare, we’ll take ’em. Gladly.
P.S. Call Karen, 862-6874.
The Staff.
