Color ads will appear full color in the digital (PDF) version of the newsletter, but will be rendered black & white in the printed version.

Full page ads may be sent as either a full page PDF file or as a suitably proportioned graphic image (jpg preferred). Smaller sized ads must be sent as a suitably proportioned graphic image (jpg preferred) so that the Newsletter Editor can fit it onto a page with other ads or newsletter articles.

GLPA reserves the right to refuse advertisements. GLPA's liability is limited to the cost of the advertisement. Deadlines for all submissions to the GLPA Newsletter are as follows:

February 1 -- Spring Equinox
