COMMUNICATIONS From Our CFWC Communications Team

Sonja Hults - Communications Team Leader

As the year is getting planned we have the exciting news. We have added a new team member that will be acting as Co Editor on the CFWC Facebook Page. Her name is Cathie Hollins. Welcome Cathie!

Cathie will be sharing all of those amazing stories from your clubs and districts to the CFWC publications. We are asking if you have a story to share, send it to the cfwccommunications@gmail.com and put the SUBJECT LINE as FACEBOOK SHARING and Cathie will be happy to share that for your club or district.

FACEBOOK Cathie Hollins, Co-Chair

I was trying to figure out how to keep track of the Facebook posts I wanted to schedule for the week. My biggest issue was not wanting to have to re-create a new scheduling sheet every week. I wanted something simple yet effective and organized. Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out to be the best. I took a sheet of paper and drew boxes for the days of the week. To keep the page symmetrical, I drew eight boxes, and used the extra box for the “week of”. The really great thing about this sheet is it is reusable because I am utilizing small post-it notes to write not only the “week of”, but to also write the subject of the Facebook post. These post-it notes can then be placed on another sheet of paper using the “week of” note as a header and placing the notes with the post subject below, without having to re-write everything, I now have a Facebook post archive system. Another great thing about this system is you can use it in any situation where you need to schedule things on a regular basis and track for future reference.

Does your club or district have a set of dinner chimes at your meetings this year?. Perhaps your club owns a set. Perhaps your district won the Past Presidents' Chimes as the award in Membership at our last convention. Perhaps your club won an award for participation from your District. Whatever the scenario, if you have a set of chimes at your meetings this year, do you actually play music on them or just hit a few random notes to call the meeting to order? Would you like to play a quick tune? If so, we've found a copy of the music book from an old set of chimes and thought you might like to "jazz" up your meetings. Deagan Dinner Chimes
