Thursday Thoughts 10-24-13

What a beautiful FALL day here in Central Florida!  The cool weather is quite refreshing!  As you enjoy this (hopeful) change of season, you might consider the following as well:

·        Image Awards are coming!  I’m usually challenged when people tell me no – when they say something’s NOT possible or downright demand me not to do something. For some reason “no” and “don’t” often prompt me to do the exact opposite. Call it reverse psychology or awakening the rebel within. So today, I advocate disobedience and beg you, please don’t take this survey <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C6TKFDP> . Please don’t provide us your feedback <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C6TKFDP>  by tomorrow.


·        Many of our chapter members work for non-profits and other organizations that depend largely on volunteers.  In this spirit, National Philanthropy Day is coming very soon.  The information attached to this email may be useful for you and for any organization wanting to recognize one outstanding giver of time, talent, and/or treasure. (Thanks to Chapter Treasurer Lauren DeIorio for these details.)


·        “Blogs, Tweets, and Posts – Oh My!” – No, this isn’t the latest Wizard of Oz chapter; instead, it’s an invite to follow FPRA-Ocala on social media.  Our technology guru, Ginger Broslat, is spearheading efforts to revive our social media presence, so Tweet, re-Tweet, post, follow, tag, pin, snap, whatever platform you use – think FPRA while doing so!



·        Finally, membership renewals are on the up and up, with many of you renewing by the Oct. 31 deadline (thank you).  I’ve spoken with more than a dozen people recently about joining, rejoining, or renewing their FPRA membership.  I hope you’ll do so – we want you as part of the Ocala chapter!



Until next time, continue to “think FPRA!”
