Please
mark your calendars for the Veterans Variety
Show!
"No event in American history is more misunderstood than the
Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered
now. Rarely have so many people been so wrong about so much.
Never have the consequences of their misunderstanding been so
tragic." Richard Nixon
On
Sunday, November 7, 2010 at Flagler College Auditorium, 14 Granada
St., St Augustine, Vietnam Veterans will receive the "Welcome Home"
they missed so many years ago.
The
doors will open at 2pm and the public will be witness to many
special exhibits including the "Travelling Vietnam Wall", a special
tribute to POW/MIA's and a travelling wall with the names of
Florida residents who paid the ultimate price in the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars. Veteran organizations will be present to offer
assistance and information.
The
premier runs from 3:00pm to 5:30pm. A free shuttle to/from parking
garage to the auditorium will be provided by OLD TOWN TROLLEY
TOURS
Florida Veterans Programs and Projects, Inc. will be presenting the
premier of the documentary, "Vietnam: Service, Sacrifice &
Courage". The event is free and open to the public.
The
documentary is a collaborative effort of many organizations that
include Allied Veterans of the World, Inc. & Affiliates, the
Veterans Council of St. Johns County, Florida Veterans Programs
& Projects, Inc., and the Communications Department, History
Department, and Administration of Flagler College.
"The
lion's share of recognition goes to the students enrolled in the
Television Workshop class and their instructors, Mark Huelsbeck and
Josh Wallace", said Producer Michael Rothfeld. "Without their
diligent work the documentary would not have been made. Wallace
filled two positions as Director and Senior Editor. "The workshop
class is 1 pass/fail credit and not reflected in the student's
G.P.A." said Huelsbeck. This became a labor of love for each
student.
The
show and premier runs from 3:00pm to 5:30pm. A free shuttle
to/from parking garage to the auditorium will be provided by OLD
TOWN TROLLEY TOURS

Eclipse
Media Power has launched it's first exciting project- Personal
Pitch Video, a "must have" application for all competitive
websites. Eclipse Media Power is a unique, multi-media approach to
communication. Rather than focusing on one specific media- video,
print, web, audio- we combine these disciplines into a holistic
approach that is based on your specific needs and target
demographic. Dynamic Media- actively adapting to the needs of your
message and the behavior of your demographic.
WHY VIDEO & WHY
NOW
Videos are 53 times more likely to
appear on the first page of search results than text pages.
1 in 5 visitors is likely to make a purchase or request more
Information.
American viewership of streaming video has grown 648%, to more than
1.4 billion minutes, in the past year.
A recent report said that 94% of
advertisers would be spending more on online video this year than
last
WHY SOCIAL
NETWORKING & VIDEO (FACEBOOK, TWITTER)
The fastest growing segment of
Facebook is women over 55 followed by men. Combined they are up
over 900% .
Social networks are increasingly how people are discovering video
and generating the highest levels of engagement
25% of search results for the worlds top 20 brands are links from
user-generated content
78% of consumers trust peer recommendations only 14% trust
advertisements
People tended to watch off-site videos 40% longer than on a
company's own site
THE BOTTOM LINE
IS
SHARING
Companies have to focus on sharing
personalized content where customers will find it. ( Social
Media)
Sharing tailored messages results viewers taking action - sharing
your link that will spark chatter and increase engagement.
80% of Twitter usage is on mobile devices - image what that means
for a bad customer experience if that is your only presence on the
web.
COST
Video production costs are very reasonable & distribution is
FREE!

unity and peace among everyone. We started with a 5k run walk and
the day continued with a variety of music, entertainment, Kids
activities, food and vendors. We also celebrated what would have
been John Lennon's 70th Birthday! Mark your calendar for this time
