THE APRA TRAILBLAZER NEWSLETTER (also needs your submissions)
The Trailblazer has a new look and is now coming to you via e-mail. We want to provide the most up to date information for APRA members in an informative, educational, and interesting way. In order to make the Trailblazer a great resource for APRA related information, we need to hear from you. We need your help in submitting articles, photos, odds & ends, and anything else you think APRA members should know about. Our goal is to have the Trailblazer represent the entire state, from large municipal departments to small town recreation branches. We can only accomplish this goal with your input. Articles of approximately 1,000 words or less may be submitted for publication. Please consider sharing your experiences, research, book reviews and other noteworthy information with more than 1,400 readers around the country. Artwork and photographs are also encouraged.
If you have new or promoted employees, unique or interesting programs, new or renovated facilities, or other activities of interest to APRA members and the park, recreation, or leisure community, let's hear about them.
Ideal articles should be between 600 and 700 words with one or two photos. Please make sure your article and photos come together and are labeled with the title of your article. Half page articles (300 words) are welcome.
We are looking for job listings, newsworthy events, program information, branch meeting information, who’s who, retirements, promotions, legislative information, etc. It is vital that we have your current email address and related information. Please call Brenda Coover @ 602.335.1962 or go to the Online Community at www.azpra.org to update your APRA member information.
Submit articles for the Trailblazer and high resolution photographs (300 dpi, 4” X 6” in size) to: Brenda Coover, bcoover@azpra.org
