Official post cards are in the mail (you may have already received yours) but I thought I'd take a moment to explain one of the biggest changes here.
The chapter is no longer mailing entry packets. We made this decision because of the numerous requests we've received over the last few years to make the contest rules and entry forms available for download.
Yes, there is a benefit to the chapter in as much as it is fiscally responsible. The chapter ultimately saves on postage and printing costs which means that we'll have more money in the account for servicing you, our valued members.
Already we've held a successful social event at the Towson AMF bowling lanes. If you missed it, find someone who attended and ask them about it. We hope to do more events like this in the future.
So get those entries together and get them in. The postmark deadline is Feb. 29.
Also, if you know of a news organization or Maryland-based journalist or freelancer let them know about the contest. It's open to all reporters in the state even if they aren't members — but they get a price break if they join (Hey, it's a selling point).
Good luck to everyone.
