| Project YEARBOOK!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Calling the "Class of 2007" and beyond, Project Yearbook is underway:
Here is your chance to finally put some names & faces together!
We are putting together a member directory and asking members to please send in:
- a picture of yourself
- along with your Name
- your Hometown
- when you became a Guild volunteer
- and of course any "favorites" or other fun snippets you would like to include in your caption (such as: "favorite task: hauling away!" or "ambition to become best needlegunner," etc.)
This yearbook, produced in our own office, will be a great way to get to know people! Feel free to submit additional photographs of other members in action from 2007 -- but be sure to include a caption that notes the names of the people in the photo as well as the approximate date and location.
You can send pictures & captions to sarah.waters@philashipguild.org
or send them by regular mail:
Attn: Project Yearbook, PSPG, 301 S. Columbus Blvd., Phila., PA 19106.
To give you an idea of what we are looking for, here is a sample submission:
Name: Gazela
Hometown: Setubal, Portugal
Joined Guild in 1971
Enjoys: Full sail, Fair Winds & a deck of adoring crew members!
