So, with the world of Public Relations and social media standing where it does, I figure it is time for me to get a handle on all this "stuff". We will see how well it goes. What to write about...
As the Public Affairs Officer for Arnold Air Society I've been charge of several projects. My biggest baby has been setting up at Century Bike ride that would help benefit Logan Regional Hospital's Cancer. It was going great! I had written up my very first communications plan and I had been given the O.K. from IHC to use their logo so long as we got everything approved, of course. However, when I started adding up all the costs...no good. AAS doesn't have $2,000 to pull it off. So, I started looking towards doing a 5k, and that was looking rather promising.
This past Tuesday through a whole other curve ball. I got the word from my squadron commander that Bike for a Cure still needed to happen but I had to "cut the costs" and "make it work". Talk about a sucker punch! However, about an hour later, I got something worked out. Hopefully one of two events will occur, a 2 Cure Cancer which would include a 20k bike and 5k walk/run, or Tri for Cancer which would have a 20 bike, a duathlon that would include a 20k bike and 5k run, and lastly a 5k walk/run. Both events would be inexpensive, on the steep end around $750 and near $350 on the low end. I'm now waiting on the go ahead because there is still loads to be done...
