online form. You can do it yourself! Just 5 simple steps and you have created your announcement. Get started!

1. Choose your style. Select from one of our many styles of announcements. Choose a style based on the size and shape of your photograph and how much you would like to say.
2. Create your account. Sign in and out as much as like, work on your announcement, save it and finish it later.
3. Upload your photo. Digital or scanned photos should be in jpg format. Your photo will appear in black and white.
4. Tell your story. Write your announcement in your own words. The Publisher reserves the right to revise, edit or reject any or all copy and photographs deemed unsuitable for publication.
5. Submit your announcement. Once you have received your quote and are finished with your announcement, submit it to the News & Record. You can change your style, your picture or your story as many times as you wish prior to deadline until you are satisfied with your announcement.
