===Forevermore===
 
Charlie McGeorge, operator of PCTYD, came up with the idea of collecting anything that CTYers write or record during CTY.  In other words, if you journal or write anything or sketch anything while at CTY, please keep it.  It'd be great if you could do so and then post things on your Userpages here at RealCTY.  Charlie wants to collect some of the stuff for use in his CTY magazine called ''Forevermore''.  If you would allow him to use your journalings, please email them to him at forevermore@postctydepression.com.
 
 
''Forevermore'' has currently published two issues and is still in its early stages.  I personally believe that it would benefit most from added participation.  Please go to the [http://www.postctydepression.com/magazine/ ''Forevermore'' homepage], part of PCTYD, to check out the current issues, and email Charlie via the ''Forevermore'' email or to his other email accounts, which you can find at PCTYD.
 
 
===Editing Reminders===
 
* Use proper grammar and spelling.
 
* Italicize or enquotulate the titles of books, songs, movies, etc.
 
* Alphabetize the Lexicon.
 
* Keep categories at the bottom of pages.
 
* Divide pages by site as necessary in the following order, verbatim: Lancaster | Carlisle | Saratoga Springs (Skidmore) | Loudonville (Siena) | Los Angeles (LMU) | Baltimore (JHU) | Hawaii | Easton | Other sites.
 
 
===New Admins===
 
Please welcome two new RealCTY admins, [[User:Kakofonous]] and [[User:FJØRKËN]].  They have been properly adminified.
 
 
Enjoy your summers, everyone!
 
 
All other announcements have been moved into the [[RealCTY:Announcements]] page.
