I never thought I'd be saying this but ..
People will read things that related directly and obviously to
themselves. If folks in *your* Councils are as busy as the folks in
mine, make these newsletters short and sweet and focussed on your
pack/troop. If you've got nothing to say, then don't say it, even if it
means not putting out a newsletter. If your newsletters get the
reputation of being stuffed full of relevant info, they'll get read. ANY
newsletter that gets read is doing better than anyother newsletter that
gets laid aside to be read later.
YMMV.
