PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
The Publicity Committee is available to help you get the word out about your events and special moments of your Chapter. Using the sample press releases below, you can publicize your events, past or present, through your local media.
PUBLICITY SAMPLES
You can modify any of these sample publication articles to suit your own specific needs.
You can add a photograph to any publicity story you may have to submit for publication.
Most publications prefer photographs as clear black-and-white prints, but they will also generally
accept a good clear color photo as well.
Don't be shy, get your news out to the public and to the OES Newsletter, or submit to the Eastern Star Journal. Your successful fundraiser, your special activities, the awards your members earn both in Star and in their professional lives are important news and need to be shared!
Remember to always keep your news releases local. Media like local names and events. Ascertain the requirements your local media may have for submission of news, announcements and photographs; as well as timelines - you won't be disappointed with non-publishing if you comply with their needs. Contact news media prior to the event so they may schedule the publicity - especially if it is desirable that they take video or photographs at the event. Media like to be notified ahead of time.
