IN THE NEWS

SUBMITTING ARTICLES FOR THE SOJOURNER MAGAZINE

Getting the Sojourner published is a team effort and Secretaries and Adjutants are very important
members of the team. We want every Chapter or Camp to submit articles to the magazine, as often as
possible, profiling the activities of your Chapters, Camps and individual members and Heroes. To
help us, we would ask that you use the following guidelines when submitting articles:

1. Write up the article in a Microsoft Word document. Don’t add borders or Heroes or Sojourner
emblems.

2. Use 12 point, Times New Roman font

3. Start the article with: NAME OF CHAPTER #NO (Secretary or Adjutant’s name) i.e.,
a) OLD DOMINION CHAPTER #364 (Les Albers, Secretary) or
b) LIGHT HORSE HARRY LEE CAMP (Les Albers, Adjutant)
c) These should be in BOLD type as shown above.

4. Articles don’t need titles

5. Use the formula of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE. The article should be about things you
did, and not what you chapter is going to do.

6. PICTURES: since we’re in the age of really good cameras in our cell phones, take lots of pictures.
If you are able, include the picture IN the WORD document, otherwise make them attachments to
the email. Most importantly: please identify the event and the people in the picture, left to right. If
it is a huge group picture, identify the group, and the principal participants, if they should be
singled out.

7. At the bottom of your email, make sure to put the contact information to include your name, email
address and phone number in case we need to clarify an article or need more information.

All of the above will enable us to include your news and help reduce the time we need to prepare
each issue.
