I got the chance to read the article, "Special Olypics Ups Outreach" this morning and had no idea the Winter Games were so close, as they are being held in Idaho this year. The PR team's goal for this event wants to heavily promote and get as many people involved as possible. I think this is such a great opportunity for people to volunteer and expose themselves to these wonderful people. Living close to the Idaho border, I'm curious to see how much PR coverage I hear.
Kirsten Suto Seckler, global brand marketing and awareness directors said, "Our goal is to promote the program so all people can realize they can be part of the movement." This event has an esitmated 2,500 participants from over 200 countires coming together to celebrate the lives and accomplishments of people with disabilites.

Presentation By Catherine Goodman
I was able to watch Catherine Goodman, a graduate of USU, present on Friday, January 16 at the Alumni House on campus. I went as an extra credit assignment for a class, but left with very valueable tips on life and balancing your career. Mrs. Goodman came from a little town in Utah and had to work petty jobs to get her education. She majored in English with a minor in French, but her career path lead her to obtain different jobs, including work in marketing and PR. She is now the National Marketing Director of the company she works for out of Salt Lake. She presented some useful tips about how to have a successful career and I'll leave you with some of my favorites!
*Don't try to control life, rather, bloom where you are planted
*Assume you are as smart as everyone else, because you probably are
*The greatest satifsfaction comes from helping others
*Find mentors who can also be friends
*Don't be afraid to ask for things- you may actually get them
*Do the jobs no one else wants to do
*Know what you know, and know what you don't know
*Don't be afraid of being promoted- any monkey can be taught any skill
"Life has a funny way of helping you out."

Press Release for ABC Real Estate LLC
January 14, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
President Preston Parker
ABC Real Estate LLC
123 Creative Way
Logan, UT 84341
Contact Info- 801-555-4567
LOGAN, Utah- ABC Real Estate LLC is the first business in Northern Utah to handle real estate transactions using trust funds. The new company is looking for four beneficiaries to collaborate within the land trust and will provide benefits to each. These beneficiaries include a seller, a buyer, an investor, and a credit beneficiary. President Preston Parker states, “We find buyers and sellers and we connect them to each other.”
This process gives people who have previously had bad credit the opportunity to purchase a home. Preston Parker explains, “The buyer lives in the home and pays into the trust, while the other three receive trust distributions.” There is no official owner of the house. When it sells the buyer gets 10%, while the other three beneficiaries get 30%.
Parker says the main purpose is to help people out. “What we want is for people to be able to progress and advance. People who can’t get into homes, we’re helping them,” says Parker. As president of the company, Parker’s job is to handle outside paperwork and find investors. A contract agreed upon by all beneficiaries is set up and the individual buying the house must sign.
ABC Real Estate LLC is a company who handles real estate transactions using land trusts. With the help of a mentor from Salt Lake City, Preston Parker started the business in Logan in August 2008. The way the company forms and uses land trusts is currently patent pending.

Letter to Cousin
426 N 500 E Apt 2
Logan, UT 84321
January 10, 2009
Dear Cousin,
I am writing in response to your recent question concerning the definition and duties of a public relations practitioner. When working in PR it will be my responsibility to establish and maintain effective relationships with the outside publics. These publics are all important and may include the media, fellow employees, consumers, and government officials. My job will also be to create a positive image of the organization or company I am working for and to increase awareness and publicity. If disputes or problems do arise, it will be my job to keep or restore image.
My duties will be very diverse and will require mastery of many different skills. Some of these duties include dealing with the media, community, employees, marketing, and issue management. Depending on the branch I chose to pursue, I could possibly be doing promotional work or fundraising.
My work day may consist of a combination of these activities: writing press and news releases, designing brochures, writing newsletters, public service advertisements and announcements, and writing annual reports. I will have to be very flexible because my day’s schedule could change at any time. I’m currently working on my writing skills, along with team working skills and public speaking ability. As you know I love communicating and working closely with people and will be doing so often in this profession.
The majority of PR practitioners work for either corporations or agencies. Others work for associations, health care, government, and charitable organizations.
As you can see, public relations is a dynamic and diverse field. I’m extremely excited to finish school, do an internship and get out into the real world. If you have any further, more specific questions let me know and I’d love to answer them for you.
Sincerely,
Jamie
