Newletter Volume and Issue Numbering

[Volunteer1]

Our nonprofit published newletters last year starting with volume 1 and
ending with issue 5. How do we number ongoing issues?

Personal preference. My group had 4 issues per volume and then I got fed up
with all of that. We dumped the Volume/Issue data. Let's face it, when it's
referred to by the membership, they probably say "the August issue" or "the
spring issue". Keep it simple.

Professional, smofessional. Dump the obscure references. No one really cares
about volume and issue numbers. Keep it simple - use months, seasons,
quarters, anything that's logical . ;-)
