The first SOI was great. Allie showed you how to make a reel, so you can simply put several photos together in a montage and add some music to it. Just make sure to put your 5 W’s: Who, what, when, where, and why.
Donna’s theme is “Serving America’s Heroes” and Frank’s is “The Power of One”. I do believe we can achieve this.
Reminders: Now is the time to start reporting. Feel free to send me your photos, articles, or reels. Let’s see your new officers, pictures. (Installations or take pictures of each of your officers) Post picture on (Frank Pictures) on Facebook, please send the photo there and then share to Department Programs if you want. I want to have it full for President Frank.
National wants Auxiliaries histories put together, we just came off of 100yrs, a lot has already been gathered. This is what National Ambassador Teresa is wanting. Do you know who your first President was, do you have a original charter, maybe pictures from events from events, elections or News Clipping from over the years, make a digital copy for Department Judging, winner will be sent to National for Judging. Start getting it together, I will give you more info.
Since were doing history, we used to put picture books (Scrap Books) together, lay them out label them, with officers, members events and information like flyers, News letters, and We will judge them. I am really wanting to do this again. (please let’s make this fun)
*Use #ivaokhistorian2627 when reporting on the Department Facebook page or your own Auxiliary pages. I will find them then. Thank you for all for wonderful pictures posted on Frank Pictures.
