Publicity

Publicity Committee

The Publicity Committee supports external communications for the VG4A’s fundraising events, including:

preparing news releases, posters and other publicity material to advertise the various fundraising events that occur during the year,
liaising with the media (print, TV and radio),
writing articles for publication,
maintaining the group’s web site, etc.

Much of our work is done electronically, but we also sometimes hold fun meetings together. We have just finished providing materials for the cycling fundraiser and are now in the midst of writing, designing, and printing materials for the AfriGrand Caravan event on November 10 and the Textile Art Exhibit & Gala in February/March 2011.

The committee has a key role to play in the success of the fundraisers and would welcome new members. Interest in areas such as public relations, writing, media contacts, web site maintenance, social media, sponsorship, photography/videography or the ability to pick up or drop off material to the printer or to the media outlets are tasks just as important as creating content. There’s always a job for everyone!
