RE: what would you?

In newsletters I have designed in the past, I have included some of the 
following types of sections:

- cartoon - preferably industry related
- FAQ's (Ask Abby style) - if I don't have any submitted questions, I made them 
up based on info I wanted users to have.
- Word Search - with industry related words
- On this day.... or month, or Did You Know?  Ten years ago, the first 
whatchamacallit was designed by .....
- Time Management type of tips

I stayed away from personal employee information (Guess who's getting married?) 
because I thought it was sappy and unprofessional.

Hope some of this helps,
