Candidates cannot be featured in LW Weekly during election cycle

GRF/MUTUAL ELECTIONS

The GRF and Mutuals have started their election process, and candidate application deadlines are underway. The GRF is electing directors from odd-numbered Mutuals this year ( see page 5).

During the Golden Rain Foundation and Mutual election cycles, candidates’ names and images must be omitted from publication in the LW Weekly, in accordance with GRF guidelines.

LW Weekly contributors are advised that all names of Mutual and GRF candidates will be removed from stories, cutlines, letters, columns and other submissions. Photos that include candidates will not be published. That means group shots will not be published if even one person in the photo is running for any Mutual or GRF board seat.

LW Weekly editors are doing their best to remove names and images from weekly submissions, but ultimately, there will be more than 100 names to track.

Contributors, including advertisers, are asked to review their own submissions to make sure candidates’ names and images are removed before filing their stories, photos and ads.

Mutual and GRF candidates are asked make sure their club contributors know they cannot be featured in the paper until elections are concluded.
