Public Relations
Araba Palms WINTER 2011-12 submission
The Araba Public Relations Committee functioned as a one-man operation again in 2011. Hopefully,
that will change in 2012. If you have had previous PR, me-dia or marketing experience, why
not volunteer?
One thing that is scheduled to happen in 2012 is the cooperation and interac-tion among those
nobles responsible for Public Relations [PR], Membership, The Araba Palms, the Circus, the Website
and “Social Media.” In addition, the president [or his designate] of every club and unit will
be considered to be a member of the temple PR Committee. This expanded committee will assist
units and clubs in pro-moting their individual activities as well as temple activities.
2012 will be an especially active year for Araba Public Relations because of Araba’s hosting of the
2012 FSA Convention in May. Nobles, the successful “host-ing” of this convention, potentially,
could greatly enhance Araba Shriners’ prestige and its coffers. But…big “but,” it will require the
efforts of almost all of the temple’s able-bodied men and their Ladies; not necessarily in PR activities
but in various functions.
It appears as though Araba PR is positioned to more effectively promote Shriners International®
and The Shriners Hospitals for Children® in 2012. The News-Press has recently given us frontpage
coverage of a hospital trip, plans to “profile” an “interesting” Araba Shriner and has a photographer
sympathetic to our cause.
The goals for 2012: (1) Build on current printed media successes; (2) Improve relationships with
local radio and TV outlets.
