How can co-correspondents support each other in their volunteer work?
If you have a co-correspondent, stay in touch with each other periodically. Touch base to discuss thoughts about your previous column and ideas for your next column. What upcoming events should you cover and how might more classmates be enticed to contribute news? And make sure that you do not duplicate work by covering the same events, etc. Decide ahead of time how the work will be divided. You might alternate columns or you might each prefer to contribute news for every column. If two correspondents send news about the same classmate, the class notes editor will combine the two versions. Q: What news is appropriate for class notes? A: Please exclude the announcement of engagements and pregnancies. We don’t use them in the Magazine. Wedding, birth, and adoption announcements are most welcome. Avoid listing complete addresses (and phone numbers) in the interest of privacy. Using a city or geographical area is usually sufficient.
