Time to make the Sundial So the Staples guys dropped off a big box of paper. This can mean only one thing! It's time to print the Sundial. Although it's available for reading online, campers and families still love getting their paper copy of the Sundial in the mail. So... staff assistants, get to work!
After a quick and easy trip through the postage
machine, the Sundial gets
I can't wait to see you all at camp where there's plenty of professional staff assistants to do this work! Just a few more weeks! Jeremy |

Actually,
there are no staff assistants during the "off season". So Tom's given
me a temporary promotion from assistant director to staff assistant! In all
seriousness, a lot of work goes into the Sundial. First, we have have
to collect and edit all the staff entries. Then it's time to write up
all the camper introductions (thanks to all who've sent in their welcome
forms to tell us about yourself). When I'm all done with layout, I
send it over to Tom who does the final check for spelling and typos.
Then it goes up to website and the printing frenzy begins.
For those
of you who've never seen it, we use a big duplicating machine called a
Risograph to make all the copies (that is, if Sara hasn't broken it).
After all the copies are printed, the real fun begins! It's time to
collate & staple! Each run of the Sundial is 650 copies. This
issue was 8 pages long so printed out on 4 pieces of paper.
That's a grand total of 2600 pieces of paper and 1300 staples (one in the
corner and one at the bottom after it's folded in half). 
dropped off
at the Madison post office. The postal workers assure us that the
Sundial is their top priority and that our campers will get their copies in
the next day or so!
