A Critical Need

[Janet Minshall]

Dear SAYMA Friendly Women and Friendly Nuisances,  The SAYMA Friendly Woman
Birthing Committee has a critical need to find a detail-oriented person,
who has a computer and can use e-mail for communications, to oversee and
keep on schedule volunteers providing proofreading services for Friendly
Woman.

We who are working on Friendly Woman are spread out all over the
Southeastern US and include a woman in Canada and one in Central America --
both interested in helping with layout.  With this much distance between
us, the location of the person providing oversight of the proofreading
function is not critical.  Even within SAYMA, we cannot, practically
speaking, drive back and forth from Atlanta to Chattannooga or Nashville to
consult on any aspect of the publication.    Virtually all of our
proofreading volunteers have computers and use e-mail and we are working on
a system for transmitting written materials between us which would insure
receipt of accurate, distortion-free copy.  This means that for the first
time in it's history, Friendly Woman may be produced entirely
electronically!

If you are a person (man or woman) who has the ability to provide this
criticallly needed service, or you know of someone who might be willing to
take on this responsibility, please respond by 10-15-99 to Penny Wright
<pennywright at earthlink.net>.  Your help will be greatly appreciated and we
expect that you will find SAYMA's Friendly Women a most agreeable and
interesting group to join.
