TEXT FOR YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT:
You may complete this form and our staff will create your announcement OR you may submit your text separately in your own words. Be creative! You are not limited to the information or the format shown here.

Please note: If you prefer the basic one-and-a-half-inch announcement at no charge that we offer for anniversaries of 50 years or more, please stop here. We will edit your copy to fit. The basic announcement does not include a photo. Publication date subject to availability.

RATES:
Announcements are a flat rate per size. We offer a 1 column by 5" ad for $59.00. A 1 column by 8" ad for $69.00; 2 column by 4" for $99.00 (this ad can accommodate 2 photos). Each additional inch is $10.00. Free basic announcement is limited to one-and-a half inches of text only (no photo) for anniversaries over 50 years. We accept cash, check, Visa, MC, American Express or Discover cards. Prepayment is required for all announcements.

PHOTOGRAPHS:
Sharp, clear photos of professional quality are preferred. Good contrast, vertical, head & shoulders shots work best. We will crop your photo electronically to fit our format. Photos may be color or black & white. (All photos submitted in color will run in color in print.) Due to the varying quality of photographs received, we do not reimburse or reprint for poor reproduction. Photos may be submitted electronically (in .jpg format, 200 dpi minimum) via email or on disk. Please verify receipt & acceptability. We will gladly return your photo by mail or hold it for you to pick up in our office after publication. Sorry, but we cannot be liable for any lost photographs.

INTERNET:
Your announcement will appear on newspress.com at no additional charge. It will remain online for 90 days following publication. (Go to www.newspress.com, click on celebrations, then your date of publication.) It's a great way to share your announcement with long distance friends & family. You can also add a link to your own personal website for only $7. (Cost will be added to your total price quote).
