One of my many activities outside of teaching 8th grade and running my Creative Memories business involves an organization called Girls on the Run. This program combines two things that are very important to me: running and building confidence and self-esteem in young girls.
I have had the pleasure of volunteering at the Silicon Valley Girls on the Run 5k for the last 4 years, and for the last 2 years I've served on the Race Committee as the Volunteer Coordinator. For an event like this, approximately 200 volunteers are needed for logistics and safety, and I'm in charge of recruiting, delegating, checking in, and managing these volunteers. It's a lot of work and a lot of fun!
For the second year in a row, I've created an album using Storybook Creator 3.0, which is Creative Memories' digital album software. Using the Simply Beautiful Digital Power Palette, I came up with this year's album, the cover of which is shown above. It wasn't difficult- I used the Simply Beautiful Predesigned Pages and just plugged in my photos and titles! Done!
The best part? Parents and coaches from the event can send me their photos from the day and I will insert them into the album so that each participant will have her own personalized album from the 5k! Their personalized photos will be mixed in with my photos of the venue, start and finish line, pre- and post-race activities, and large group shots of the runners. This will make a very special piece of memorabilia from a very fun event!
If you're a parent or coach and are interested in ordering your album, contact me at Marianne241@gmail.com for more information.
