7 Y Why you need o aend a summer workshop I s an annual manra he bes hing you can do for your 2000 whaever yearbook is o aend a summer yearbook workshop. I would like o exend ha o say ha i should be; he bes hing you can do for yourself as a yearbook adviser is aend a summer yearbook workshop. ummer workshops are shor and inensive (someimes VERY inensive) learning environmens where you (and your saff if you bring hem) will have a chance o learn from people who have been doing yearbook for many years. And hey have been successful a i. Beyond ha you will also have a chance o inerac wih oher advisers who are in he same boa (or one quie like i) as you are. Bu wha if you can afford i? Here are some ideas ha migh help you (and your saff) aend he workshop of your choice. Consider In-school sources In alking o many suden council advisers, we have found ha hey regularly conribue money for parial or full camp uiion o cheerleaders, songleaders, band members, leadership sudens and many ohers who ask. Why no yearbook saffers or advisers? B Here s why hey should Your suden council spends heir enire year planning and carrying ou fanasic projecs ha, wihou he yearbook, would soon be forgoen in he years o come. Go ahead and appeal o heir vaniy. Afer all, don we all wan o be remembered for he wonderful hings we do? Yearbook saffers spend counless hours each year puing ou he yearbook, and hey receive lile recogniion for i. Rally squads, bands and spors eams perform before crowds of fans. Oher groups do projecs ha are compleed during he school year and receive immediae recogniion. Yearbook saffers give ou he books, and hen school is ou. A lile recogniion in he form of a scholarship should be in order. If you submi your book for judging, you migh appeal o heir sense of school pride o help you be he bes in he yearbook world. Everyone loves a winner, bu you have o rain o win. Ouside of school sources Check ino adul booser clubs Using he same argumens as you do for he suden council, address your school s ahleic booser club. In paricular, sress o hem all he incredibly grea new ways you will learn o phoograph, design and wrie abou he spors program a your school. These are he parens of he ahlees who play for your school. In he years o come, when heir kids are grown and gone, heir yearbook will be he only official record hey will have of heir child s ahleic accomplishmens. Check ou communiy groups Don forge oher groups who suppor communiy aciviies. When you approach hem, do so in erms of heir supporing a scholarship. Roary, Kiwanis, he Lions Club, Jaycees and he Chamber of Commerce all have money available for educaional endeavors. ome are jus waiing for someone o ask for help. Consider asking hem o creae a Yearbook ummer Workshop cholarship ha is awarded o someone on your saff on an annual basis. ome final houghs Require sudens who are aending o pay a leas par of he workshop fees ou of heir own pockes. udens wih no invesmen of heir own ofen do no inves hemselves in he work. When going o any of he above groups for workshop funding, i s imporan ha he sudens, no he adviser, go o make he presenaion. Make your reques in boh wrien and oral form. Look sharp.
