Whaletalkers, i just sent you a friend request and meant to include a message with it. could you please send me the template you have for running the news paper article? thanks you very much :)

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all doing well.
Connie, that is too funny about the pet slug..lol
Tezob - i work for Jackson Hewitt
Midwest - my sons hasn't been in the paper yet either. i contacted the recruiter and asked them if they do it or do i. they said they would do it. so i had my daughter take a picture down to them, i gave them all the info, and nothing yet. it's been like 3 weeks. so i'm calling today, and will just tell them that if they don't do it, i want the pic back and i'll do it myself....i'm tired of waiting, it's been a month for crying out loud.
Glad all you ladies are getting to go spend Thanksgiving with your kids, that's great. I so wish we could, but i have so much training going on before and after, i can't possibly get away. it would have been nice though because son's bday is nov 30th, and we could have had a double celebration. this will be his first bday away from home, so it kinda makes me sad.
I hope you all have a great day, and possibly week if i don't get on here again this one...lol

I contacted our paper they said they would not print a picture, & would print what came from RTC when there was space available. Have not seen it yet! :(

MidWest-We sent in the announcement ourselves. At first we thought the recruiter might do it, but was informed they don't do that, that it had to come from the parents. I just emailed it to the paper along with the picture. They didn't even re-write it but used the exact text we sent in. Good thing too since our town paper is almost famous for changing things around, and not always accurately. lol!

TN-I haven't gotten the official OK yet from the office. Hoping for it SOON!!! Will keep you posted.

PatriciaT - Did you put the announcement in? Or did it come from RTC?
-

Our son's announcement was in our local paper along with his picture a few weeks ago. Whaletalkers had sent out a template of a very good format which we used. Naturally we bought a dozen copies of that paper--enough for everyone's scrapbooks!

Has anyone's newspaper published the graduation announcement yet? Just curious.
