The <i>SSAfara Magazine</i> editorial team is now welcoming contributions for 2004.</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">The response to last year's <i>SSAfara Magazine</i> was truly amazing! The outpouring of enthusiasm, encouragement, appreciation and enjoyment expressed in so many messages was a thrill for the editorial team and I extend those votes of confidence to every individual that made a contribution. Thanks to your efforts, the magazine was a huge success! Of course, that means we have some high expectations to live up to this year!</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">I just wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a few of the comments we received.</font> <ul> <font face="arial" size="2"><i>'Fresh and dynamic'</i> - Jacqueline Barbosa (Bangkok, Thailand)<i> <br> 'It is super!'</i> - Veronika Hussenet (Douala, Cameroon)<i> <br> 'Wonderful issue and looks very professional'</i> - Iin Wibisono<i> <br> 'It looks fabulous and all the ladies were avidly reading when last I saw them'</i> - Paula Edwards (Muscat, Oman)<i> <br> 'Absolutely fantastic'</i> - Christiane Lloyd (Abu-Dhabi, UAE)<i> <br> 'Really impressive' -</i> Nicole Leavitt (Quito, Equador)<i> <br> 'This particular edition is one of the best'</i> - Glenys Claverie (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)<i> <br> 'It looked good enough to read and sure enough, it was!'</i> - Lorraine Gibbons (Perth, Australia)<i> <br> 'The content was superb, varied and so many people contributed.

Of course, we want the same for 2004, <b><i>so please take note of the information below before sending us your articles and pictures - it really makes a huge job a lot easier if all the information we receive is consistent!</i></b></font></p> <hr> <br> <font face="arial" color="#ff0000" size="2"><b>A NEW THEME...WHAT ARE WE? DYNAMIC!</b></font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2"><i>Dynamic: Of motive force; of force in actual operation; active, potent, energetic; energising or motive force.</i></font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">The 2004 <i>SSAfara Magazine</i> will have the theme '<b>Dynamic</b>' because the editorial team has decided that's just what members of the SSA are! We are looking for you to interpret the theme in whatever way you see fit - the more creative, the more interesting! The SSA is a dynamic and continually changing association; the lives we lead are dynamic; the countries we live in are too. Play with the theme. Twist it a little. Make things interesting!</font><br> <hr> <br> <font face="arial" color="#ff0000" size="2"><b>THE DEADLINE</b></font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">The deadline for submissions to the <i>SSAfara Magazine</i> is <b>March 12, 2004</b>.</font><br> <hr> <br> <font face="arial" color="#ff0000" size="2"><b>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES</b></font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">Submissions can be made in a number of ways. The most convenient way is to <b>email</b> your submission to <a href="mailto:magazine@ssafara.net">magazine@ssafara.net</a>. We will also accept IBM disks, CD-ROMs or Zip Disks, as well as originals of artwork by regular mail. The mailing address is:</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">SSAW Global Communications Coordinator</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">C/- WesternGeco Support Services</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">11th Floor, East Wing</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">Rohas Perkasa</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">8 Jalan Perak</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">50450, Kuala Lumpur</font><br> <font face="arial" size="2">Malaysia</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">When sending your articles, please save them as a <b>Microsoft Word</b> document and forward as an <b>attachment</b>. Include the <b>title</b> of your article in the subject line of the email. Please do not forget to include <b>your full name, SSA Chapter and country of location</b> in the email.</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">We cannot return anything sent to us and cannot be held responsible for anything that doesn't arrive or arrives damaged.</font><br> <hr> <br> <font face="arial" color="#ff0000" size="2"><b>HELPFUL HINTS REGARDING PICTURES</b></font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">Please ensure that with every photograph you send, you include a <b>caption</b>! Let us know <b>where</b> and <b>when</b> the event took place, and to whom all those happy faces in the pictures belong! Please ensure that <b>everyone's name is spelt correctly</b>.</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">When you are sending digital images, the most important thing to remember is <b>resolution</b>! This may sound complicated but it really isn't! When you are taking pictures for the magazine, a good rule-of-thumb is to set the camera to a '<b>high-resolution</b>' setting or a resolution of <b>1,600 x 1,200 pixels or greater</b>. Your camera manual will tell you how to do this. We do want to use all the photographs received, so please check your camera's resolution settings.</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">Please also consider sending photographs that are different to group shots. While we love to see all your smiling faces, it's also great to see people doing something! Keep in mind that many of the people who read the magazine may not have visited your 'home' country before, so we are also interested in seeing something of the place in which you live! Be as creative as you wish.</font><br> <br> <font face="arial" size="2">On behalf of the editorial team, I thank you for past contributions and look forward to more exciting stories from you all soon!</font> <p><font face="arial" size="2"><i>Rachel von Nordeck-Myers</i></font><font face="arial"><br> </font><font face="arial" color="#808080" size="2"><i>Global Communications Coordinator</i></font><font face="arial"><br> </font><font face="arial" color="#808080" size="2"><i>Schlumberger Spouses Association, Worldwide</i></font><font face="arial"><br> </font><font face="arial" color="#808080" size="2"><i>Mobile: +60 (0)12-6945714</i></font></p> </body> </html> </html> <BR> <h3><font color="blue">SSAFARA MAGAZINE 2003 - Volume 8, Issue 18</font></h3> <BR> Download a copy of the new SSAfara Magazine! <br> <a href="/download/ssafara-magazine-2003.pdf">SSAfara 2003 </a> (1.74 mb PDF file) <P> <img src="/images/rachelsig.gif"><br> Rachel von Nordeck-Myers<br> SSAW Global Communications Coordinator<br> <a href="mailto:magazine@ssafara.net">magazine@ssafara.net</a>
