Regional Announcements:
Welcome to our new website! We're glad you made it, and we ask that you if you are going to link to us, please link to http://michiganregion.ptk.org as this is our domain name and it will soon link directly to this site.
We are having a contest to create a Regional Pin! Submissions are due by January 27th. The Rules are fairly simple. There is a limit of four colors, plus black. It must be a reasonably sized pin, perhaps about the size of a 50 cent piece at the largest. And it needs to be in a high resolution format, preferably as a PNG or GIF file with approximately 300 pixels/inch so that they can do a good job in re-creating the design. Please submit your submissions to: miregionptk@gmail.com.
Our Regional PR/Historian needs your assistance! We are planning on having a new edition of The Michigander, our Regional newsletter, come out in March, and we would like article submissions to include in it! Articles do not have to be very long, a paragraph or two will do, and pictures to include with it are very welcome. Please send your article submissions to either hopebuell@gmail.com or miregionptk@gmail.com by February 29th, 2012. We look forward to seeing what your chapter has been up to!
Hope also needs your help with the Regional Yearbook!
The Regional Yearbook is not only about the Regional events, but also about Chapter events which take place throughout the year. You can join Hope's "Camera Crew" by sending her your pictures of either Regional events or Chapter events at hopebuell@gmail.com. It would be helpful if you also include a little information about the pictures so that she knows what the pictures are about and who is in them.
Also, you may have noticed our new Name Game page! Hope has some wonderful pictures which she has decided to use in the Regional Yearbook, but she doesn't know the names of everyone in them. So to encourage you to help identify the people in the photos, we have the pictures which are giving her the most problems up on the Name Game page, and you're welcome to help her figure out who they are. There will be a prize for the winner given out at the 2012 Regional Convention. For more information on this contest, see the Name Game page.
