Wilderness Watch & "InstantWatch!"
WROA Owner Communications |
|
Mission The mission of the Communications Committee is to facilitate communications among Ranch residents and owners. Functions The Communications Committee publishes the association newsletter, the Wilderness Watch, ten to thirteen times a year and maintains the WROA Web site at WROA.ORG. The committee also publishes a telephone directory of Ranch residents from time to time. Editorial Policy There are three types of content in the newsletter and on the association Web site: 1) Official communications of Ranch policy and board decisions.
These communications are in the form of Wilderness Watch articles written by members of the WROA Board of Directors and committee chairs. Official communications also include the contents of the WROA.ORG Web site. Before being published these materials may receive editing to correct typographical or grammatical errors; they are also formatted for consistency with other WROA published materials. Articles with inappropriate language may be returned to the author for revision, or with the approval of the Committee Chair or Board Liason, may be refused publication. 2) Informal articles in the Watch regarding the weather, outdoor living, Idaho City schools, and similar topics.
These articles are generally written by volunteer members of the WROA Communications Committee. Other informal communications include those WROA.ORG pages listed under "Other Information" on the site's home page. Before being published these materials may receive editing to correct typographical or grammatical errors; they are also formatted for consistency with other WROA published materials. 3) SpeakOut! letters in the Wilderness Watch and advertisements on WROA.ORG.
These are letters and ads of general interest to the Ranch community, written for WR owners and residents; these materials are printed as submitted although they may be formatted for consistency with other WROA published materials. Materials with inappropriate language will be returned to the author for revision. |
