Re: Submissions for Wing Slip and Group 6 News

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Michael Adamus, and I have been appointed as the Deputy Public Affairs Officer for Group 6 under 1LT James Vessella. I would also like to welcome Airman Jessica Frankhouser who will be assisting us, as well.

One of my new duties is to produce a monthly update for the PA Wing Newsletter. My plan is to have an email address where each Squadron can send updates, promotions, upcoming events, etc. It will also help the PAO staff compose the Wing update quickly and efficiently. We will also use the info to create the Group 6 Quarterly Newsletter.

To that end, I would like to announce our new Group 6 email address. Send your Squadron updates to pagroup6mail@yahoo.com. I would like to begin publishing in May. For now, begin compiling your updates and I?ll send out the deadline when I have it confirmed from Wing. Please remember that we may have limits as to room and length. If there is something urgent that you want reported, note that in your update.

With our Air Show coming up soon, there?s a lot to do and only a couple of months left. We hope you will help by promoting the event in your region. If you need any help or have recommendations, please let us know.

On behalf of your PAO staff, I look forward to working with you. Together, we will show the best that Group 6 has to offer.
