What? Is This Really Work?
I hope by now most of you have had the chance to view the video invitation starring our own president, Felicia McLemore. I thought I'd spend a few minutes to take you behind the scenes of the making of the video.
As luck would have it, we had absolutely beautiful weather the day of the shoot. In fact, for April, it was quite warm. Along with my camera crew from the Lottery (thanks Adam and Ben for generously donating your time!) we set off on an adventure. I must admit, spending the day amidst the fabulous surroundings of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden wasn't exactly hard duty.
Felicia joined us as we headed down to the Bloomendal House for the opening shot. What a trooper she was! Felicia kept her "cool" even with the afternoon sun really beating down on us. Once we got into the rhythm of the shoot, a nice soft wind helped us "breeze" through the afternoon to get all the shots we needed to put together a nice finished product. Adam and Ben were brilliant picking just the right spot for each scene. And thanks to Felicia's excellent job reading the script, we don't even have enough to put together a blooper reel!
All in all, we had a great time putting this video together AND we spent a wonderful afternoon in one of the most beautiful spots in all of Richmond. So, what better way to spend a summer evening than with your colleagues at Lewis Ginter? I hope everyone will be able to join us on June 12 for what is sure to be a fabulous event!

Goal Set, Goal Accomplished
Hi there! I apologize for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Meredyth Thurston and as a part of the planning committee I helped to collect, submit and ship the 2008 award entries out-of-state for judging. We exceeded the committee goal and processed 101 entries this year!
As a first-timer to the Virginia PR Awards Committee, and any PRSA Richmond committee for that matter, I have enjoyed working with and getting to know other industry pros. I hope to connect with each of you at the awards program June 12. Until then, feel free to post any questions or suggestions!

Successful experiment!
Yesterday's Webinar--the first-ever offered by our chapter--was a bit of an experiment. I'm happy to say that it went well! Sixteen people attended, and the feedback so far has been very positive.
This is a great tool for sharing information, and I hope we can use Webinars in the future for a variety of topics.
If you missed yesterday's event, but would like to download tips for creating winning award entries, you can find a PDF and an audio file on the 2008 Awards Information page on prsarichmond.org.

More tools to get connected!
We've added a PDF file and an audio file with tips for preparing award-winning entries.Jeff Wilson, with CRT/tanaka, did a fabulous job of providing these tips, and many thanks go to Steve Mullen, president of EndGame Public Relations for producing the podcast. (By the way, the voice talent is the award committee's own Jennifer Mullen.)
Check out these tools on the 2008 Awards Information page.
And don't miss Thursday's Webinar on writing winning Virginia PR Award entries.

We just finished our Webinar dry run!
Just finished our practice session for the April 10 Webinar on writing winning award entries. I'm really excited, because it's coming together beautifully!
The technology is really neat--participants attend an interactive session with audio and video. No traveling to or from a meeting site--very efficient!
