Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Duluth 
UUCD Newsletter (October 2009)
The responsibility for the editorial policies and practices of the UUCD monthly newsletter rests with the Board of Directors. The Newsletter Editor (currently the Congregational Administrator) is responsible for the production of the newsletter and for implementing Board policies. The editor is granted the right to edit material that is too long or contains incorrect grammar or spelling, and to refuse material that is not appropriate; however, every effort will be made to be inclusive. Dialogue related to specific topics will not be printed in the newsletter. A forum for airing opinions (such as an editor's page) is not provided.
The Primary function of the newsletter is to inform the congregation of UUCD programs and activities. Space and emphasis will be allocated according to the following priorities:
- Information about Sunday services
- Communications from the minister
- Information about religious education programs and classes (all ages)
- Music programming schedules and news
- Information about all-church functions, e.g. annual canvass, congregational meetings
- Communications from the Board, the staff and UUCD committees and groups, limited to reporting on recent meetings and events and announcements of upcoming events of interest to members and friends (excepting minister's communications)
- News of UUCD members/friends; brief announcements of members' special needs
- District and denominational news
- As space permits, community news and announcements of activities of organizations of particular interest to UUCD or its members
Advertisements for ongoing business or professional services will not be published, but the newsletter will accept a one-time announcement of a member's ENTRANCE into a business or profession. Announcements of classes held at UUCD may be published before the beginning of each new class session.
All UUCD newsletter articles are to be to the editor by the 17th of the month unless requested earlier to accommodate holiday schedules, and released by the first of each month. It will be made available on our UUCD website as soon as possible after completion and subscribers will be notified when it is available on the website. Priority will be given to items received on time or early. Late submissions may not be included due to space constraints.
Submissions should be directed by email to the editor at uucduluth@gmail.com. in a .doc (Microsoft Word) format or a format compatible with Word.
Any questions or problems concerning the newsletter should be addressed to the first to the editor, then to the Board President.
