TORCH: NC

"The Torch:NC is the official newspaper of the NCJCL. It is the main line of communication to each local chapter. The paper includes national, NC State, and local JCL news, deadlines, rules changes and announcements of upcoming JCL events. The Torch:NC is generally published three times a year, and a newsletter is mailed to chapters as needed. Publication dates for the paper and deadlines for submitting material for each issue are decided soon after the NC State Convention by the Executive Board. Publication of the Torch:NC is the primary responsibility of the NCJCL Vice-President. Through the paper, the Vice-President works to increase membership, publicize the NC State Convention, and publish the activities of local chapters.

A minimum of one copy will be sent to each sponsor who has paid sponsor dues. To save the NCJCL money, the Torch, beginning in 2004, and in compliance with the move toward technology encouraged by National JCL, will be primarily an online publication, available for printing, or for reading online. The Spring Torch will be available at the state convention for attending chapters. The remaining chapters will receive their copies in the mail. The TORCH:NC is an effective means of communication only if the Vice-President receives the support of the local chapters. Local Chapters are urged to be aware of the paper's publication deadlines and to submit material about chapter activities as often as possible."
