October Chapter Meeting
We were pleased to host Scott Palmer, Senior Account Executive with French/West/Vaughan for our October Chapter meeting. Scott shared some great information about social media marketing and some beautiful infographics about current trends in the field. Be sure to check out our blog to hear more about what Scott had to say.
A Thousand Thanks: We will be assisting the Office of University Advancement for their upcoming thank-you note writing campaign that will take place on Nov. 8-10. Please contact our Director of Chapter Development, Carolina O’Brien (cobrien13@elon.edu) for more information on how to get involved.
PRSSA Luncheon: Unfortunately the PRSA luncheon we planned to attend is taking place on Nov. 22, the first day of Thanksgiving break. If you would still like to go and will be in the area, please email Chapter President Liz Moy (emoy@elon.edu).
Dues are now overdue: If you have not turned in your dues, you cannot join PRSSA for the fall semester. Please keep checking our website and social media to stay up-to-date on the due date for the spring, which will be at the end of February.
Kindle Winner: Congratulations to Lauren Ludlow, winner of the Win a Kindle Facebook contest! “If I had a Kindle, I would download all the books on my wish list as well as my textbooks! I would LOVE not having to carry around my heavy books to class,” said Lauren.

First Chapter Meeting
Our first Chapter meeting included a mini-campaign competition with fictional client the Greensboro Grasshoppers where teams of Chapter members brainstormed and presented tactics to help increase the sales of season tickets to families. Tactics included:
- Special family days & meet and greets with team members
- Ticket giveaways
- Social media campaigns
- Kids run-the-bases competitions
- Fun and catchy themes to grab the attention of parents
Don’t forget our next Chapter meeting will be Tuesday Oct. 25 @ 7:30 in McEwen 108
There will be food, a speaker, networking opportunities and we will announce the winner of the Kindle!
How do you win the Kindle, you ask? Like us on Facebook and tell us if you had a Kindle what would you do with it/how would you use it?
