[Imc] Call for editors!

[Brent McDonald]

Salutations IMC'ers,

Voluteer EDITORS are needed soon for an Urbana IMC monthly print publication 
starting this summer!

The U-C IMC is preparing to publish its first 4-8 page monthly newsletter 
July 3rd.  The imc-print interest group, which has been meeting weekly for 
the past month, invites all persons enthused about partaking in editing, 
coordinating and proofreading processes to come join in the experience.  The 
IMC-print group meets at the Urbana IMC at 6:30pm, Thursdays.

Note: while these editorship roles have yet to be neatly defined, we have 
agreed that the paper should be divided thematically, and the following 
thematic divisions should provide a loose structure for the editorial board. 
  Whereby, contributing editors can hone on a particular interest or 
passion.

	Arts
	Media
	Human rights
	Labor and economics
	Environment
	Local government
	   - legislative
	Editorial

Also, to access the IMC print e-mail list, go to <lists.groogroo.org> and 
register on "imc-print."  I've listed last week's meeting notes below.

Thanks,
Brent McDonald
