Junior Recognition in Orienteering
-
Topic created by Orienteer7 on Wed Oct 15, 2014 at 6:40 pmLast week our daughter participated in the North American Champs. About 2 weeks before I sent a few pictures and a brief article to the local newspaper. The paper printed the article and a neighbor called us to say they saw the article and had kept the copy for us. The article was also carried on the paper's website. You can refer to my earlier eborad post.I would like to do this for other juniors in the club. If you would like to particpate I need a photo of the junior(hopefully in an "O" suit and preferably DVOA's) and it could show a control and map/compass. Prefer picture in jpeg format. I will also need the web contact and name of your local paper. When juniors are going to attend major events I would then send the press release to your local paper(s) along with their photo. If we have a database of photos ...ongoing this is an easy job and all you will need is to let me know the national event they will attend.The upcoming U.S. Night "O" and Long-O Champs in November is a great opportunity to send out a release.If your interested in getting some junior recognition and in promoting the sport locally just let me know at orienteer7@aol.com. We can also take photos at the local events if necessary.Mark
