Residents from a small town come together to be educated on financial independence and become financial free.
Dear John,
We wanted to let you know about a new educational class that has been started by a small group in the community that is trying to make a difference in the financial world. Members of the Cache Valley Area Investors Association meet every other Thursday to discuss needs that they feel are beneficial to them in helping them stay on top of their finances and receive guidance and direction on certain topics. Their next meeting will be held on March 6th and is free of charge and they will discuss different financial topics.
Cache Valley Area Investors Association was started by Preston Parker back in August of 2007 to help educate members of the community. In doing this they have many different guest speakers attend their meetings to discuss topics that they feel are important.
The association was created to help members better understand their own personal finances and become financially free.
Are you available to sit down with Preston Parker this Thursday, Feb 28th between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to meet and discuss any questions you may have about the association?
Please feel free to contact me at any time and let me know what time will work best for you. We look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,

Toyota Press Release on the New IS F & Toyota Literacy Program
Press Release #1 Toyota Launches Literacy Program for Hispanic and other Immigrant Families.
I was able to find some great articles on the press release from Toyota discussing the release of their new literacy program for Hispanics and other immigrant families and how it will effect the community and the members. This article was very positive in discussing what Toyota is doing for Hispanic immigrants and helping them in their literacy journey to learning English. Toyota is doing everything they can and trying to give back to the community. This article and press release is very positive for the company and will have a great impact on the community itself.
The articles discussed some of the benefits that come from this program and how it will effect and in turn be a huge thing for Hispanic immigrants in the long run and for generations to come. They discussed the areas that this program will have effect on and how many schools will benefit from this great program.
They stated that the three schools from which the funds will be given are all within the granite school district and the average between 33 percent and 46 percent Hispanic enrollment. These schools are in a great need for this program and will be a huge help to the students and the teachers.
The Utah school district will be given about $600,000s when the program goes into effect and will be distributed between the three schools. This great program will not only be helping schools here in Utah but will be helping schools in Washington, California, Arizona and Florida.

Press Release #2, 2008 IS F Specifications and Features.
Lexus has just released the new IS F sports luxury car. In the first article I chose about this press release they discuss the competition this new car is about to bring to its competitors and how it will effect the market. People and feel that it is going to over take the BMW M3 and compete with the Audi RS 4. They discussed the reasons that Lexus came out with this vehicle and how it was not made specifically to compete with those other cars. It is something that they have wanted to do and it is something that Yukihiko Yaguch the creator wanted. He presented the idea of the IS F in years past and was turned down but felt that it was something Lexus should really consider. He kept the project to himself and continued to work on it for a few more years to come until he was able to get all the details worked out and feel comfortable that he could present it and Lexus would be ready and willing to except it.
They go onto to discuss the specifications of the car and the details about its debut. In the article they explain that this car is a something beyond the IS 250 and IS 350. In both articles they give the features and the aspects of the car. They are more informational than anything.
This car has really come a long way and it ready to go out and make its way to the world. This article has come across in a very positive light showing the features and the specifications of the new car and what it has to offer to its loyal customers who have been waiting for something like this for a long time.

Analysis of Articles and Release
I researched a few companies and tried to find press releases that appealed to me and that caught the attention of the audience. As I researched the press releases I decided to look up Lexus on Google and was directed to the Toyota website where I was able to find the posting of there press releases. I chose two separate press releases on discussed the literacy program that Toyota had decided to become involved in was donating a large sum of money to school districts around the nation to help better education immigrants that have come to this country. The second released discussed the features of the new IS F Lexus and what is has planned for the future.
I was able to find quite a few articles through google, which discussed both topics in depth. In the first press release and articles that I was able to locate discussed where the schools were located and what their needs were. They focused on informing the public and the issues that they would be meeting. In the articles I found that they came in a positive light and that Toyota was doing what they could to give back to the community.
In the second press release they discussed the new features and profile for the new Lexus that is coming out in the year 2008. In most of the articles they discussed mainly the features and details of the car. They were able to get inside information from the main engineer who designed and came up with the idea for this new car and how he went about it. They discussed the inside and then went to the outside to get the customers perspective on the car and what they expected from it. They also discussed what this will do to the market that Lexus competes in and how it is able to compete with the RS 4 and the BMW M series. Lexus made it very clear that they had no desire to make the car to compete but felt that its customers were ready to accept this new car.
In each of the articles I felt that they received credible quotes and information regarding the program and the profile of the new car. With the literacy program I believe they released it to get the information out there and to make the public aware of the good service they are providing to the community and showing that this is a great way to give back to the community. In the press release discussing the new IS F they wanted to inform the public of the new adventure they can be expecting in the future and to inform their competitors and loyal customers to be ready for something great.
With each of the articles written they were driven by different forces and with the first article people like to see the big companies giving back. I also believe that Toyota loved the image that came from this great story and although they are donating a lot of money they will get that money back from Loyal customers who see the story and feel they can connect to the company. In regards to the release informing the public of the new car coming forth they wanted to inform the people and give them something to look forward too. I believe that these articles were posted and driven by the desire from customers and them wanting to know as much as they could about the new vehicle and what expect from it.
Each of these releases gave something great to the public but definitely to the company as well. I feel that they were both directed to the media in a positive light. I think that each of these articles were beneficial to the company and that they came forth in the right way to catch peoples attention and in doing so a lot of articles were written by the media.
The things that made each of these articles effective was that they were directed in the right direction and to the right people. When creating a release you want to inform people and often times hope that the media catches it and creates a news story from it. In doing this the company receives free advertising and publicity. Lexus and Toyota did just that and I believe that they got exaclty what they wanted and it was effective.
I was able to find some great articles on the press release from Toyota discussing the release of their new literacy program for Hispanics and other immigrant families and how it will effect the community and the members. This article was very positive in discussing what Toyota is doing for Hispanic immigrants and helping them in their literacy journey to learning English.

Positioning Myself
I have a strong desire to work in the Public Relations industry and plan big events for companies. I love working with people and enjoy planning events and parties for other people. I have been planning activities and events for my friends for a long time and have grown to love this responsibility. I have taken the time to familiarize myself with the different aspects of the Public relations field.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics many event planners have backgrounds in a array of degrees and skills, but some useful undergraduate majors are marketing, public relations, communications, business, and hotel or hospitality management. Individuals who have studied hospitality management may start out with greater responsibilities than those with other academic backgrounds. At this time they are showing that this field is growing rapidly in 2006 they had 51,000 jobs available and they predict in the next 10 years to have a 20 percent increase and the numbers to be at 61,000. Median annual earnings for meeting and convention planners in May 2006 were $42,180. The middle 50 percent earned between $32,840 and $55,040. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,880, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $70,950.
While many people enjoy attending the events, more often than not companies are celebrating these parties in honor of their customers or employees.
In trying to obtain this job I plan to contact the hiring manager of the companies I would like to work for. In doing this I will help them see why I am the best candidate for the job.
With these jobs comes a lot of responsibility. I was able to speak with many people and to come to realize companies are looking for people who are detail oriented and who are able to come up with ideas quickly and to act quickly. With event planning come’s a lot of work and responsibility. Not everything goes the way you want it to and you need to be able fix problems and take care of things that may not fall into place. Experience is a key aspect to working in the industry and being able to work with other people. It is important to remember your purpose and have a understanding of what the company expects.
I was able to speak with Rachel Lewis, the communications director at Workers compensation. In speaking with her I was able to get some insight on what they expect for people applying for a job. She also discussed what her job exactly entails. I was able to learn that the best thing to get involved in public relations is to gain experience and to show them that you have the potential to make something great. Often times you have to start off planning small events and parties and eventually the events become bigger and bigger. She told me that you need to be able to work quick on your feet and be able to come up with great ideas fast. Often times when working in the industry, lots of things go wrong or things don’t always turn out the way you expected and you need to be able to make adjustments and turn things around.
I also spoke with Rachel Keddington at Modern display. She is an event planner for the company and plans a lot of weddings and different events for companies around the valley. She helped me to gain an insight to see that when being hired for a company you need to be available and willing to work nights and weekends. She also discussed the details that go along with event planning and working with vendors and being able to know how much a certain party will cost and how to go about getting your customers the best deal. As time goes on and you have planned a number of events you will start to see what companies are the best to work with and which ones will give you the best deal. She also stated that often times she has 3 different vendors that she can call depending on the quality and budget of the company. She rates them on service. She knows that she can contact a certain company and they may be the cheapest and get the job done but it may not be the best quality but often times when people are on budgets they are often times willing to go a little cheaper. Other companies want the best and are willing to spend the money to get the best service and product. She stated she usually ends up going with the company in the middle who will give her a good deal and still is able to produce quality work. One thing that she explained was that you become very familiar with your vendor and the cost, service and quality of work they provide. Once you have worked with a vendor for a long time you are able to get discounts and pass that along to your customers.
There are many avenues that come with working in the industry and a lot of times it just takes hands on experience to be able to fully understand the industry. I feel that I am being prepared through schooling, planning events and other opportunities to work in the public relations field and plan events.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics many event planners have backgrounds in a array of degrees and skills, but some useful undergraduate majors are marketing, public relations, communications, business, and hotel or hospitality management. Individuals who have studied hospitality management may start out with greater responsibilities than those with other academic backgrounds. At this time they are showing that this field is growing rapidly in 2006 they had 51,000 jobs available and they predict in the next 10 years to have a 20 percent increase and the numbers to be at 61,000. Median annual earnings for meeting and convention planners in May 2006 were $42,180. The middle 50 percent earned between $32,840 and $55,040. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,880, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $70,950.
While many people enjoy attending the events, more often than not companies are celebrating these parties in honor of their customers or employees.
In trying to obtain this job I plan to contact the hiring manager of the companies I would like to work for. In doing this I will help them see why I am the best candidate for the job.
With these jobs comes a lot of responsibility. I was able to speak with many people and to come to realize companies are looking for people who are detail oriented and who are able to come up with ideas quickly and to act quickly. With event planning come’s a lot of work and responsibility. Not everything goes the way you want it to and you need to be able fix problems and take care of things that may not fall into place. Experience is a key aspect to working in the industry and being able to work with other people. It is important to remember your purpose and have a understanding of what the company expects.
I was able to speak with Rachel Lewis, the communications director at Workers compensation. In speaking with her I was able to get some insight on what they expect for people applying for a job. She also discussed what her job exactly entails. I was able to learn that the best thing to get involved in public relations is to gain experience and to show them that you have the potential to make something great. Often times you have to start off planning small events and parties and eventually the events become bigger and bigger. She told me that you need to be able to work quick on your feet and be able to come up with great ideas fast. Often times when working in the industry, lots of things go wrong or things don’t always turn out the way you expected and you need to be able to make adjustments and turn things around.

Objective:
Before I graduate in 2010 I plan to work in the Public relations industry doing internships with different companies to become educated on how different jobs and companies work with the media, the public and community events. In doing this I hope to better gain an understanding of where my skills can be best used. I would love to plan events and fairs for companies but feel that I need to get my feet wet in other areas of the field. I really enjoy writing and would like to widen my skills and understanding when it comes to writing for companies. In doing this I will be a better tool when it comes to working with other people and being an asset to the company and their customers.
When I graduate with my degree in public relations and Marketing I plan on sending out my resumes to a few companies within the state of Utah to gain some experience and a better understanding of the industry. I am hoping that in doing this I will be able to get a job that will lead me into a career. I also plan on contacting the companies that I have interned with to see if they have any job openings and to see if would be able to work for them again.
I feel that companies are looking for people with experience and I plan to get internships over the summer to help familiarize myself with the field and to be able to get a better understanding of what I am getting myself into and to gain experience.
Output Objectives:
- I plan to send out my resume and portfolio to 15 different companies around the state of Utah.
- I will contact people I know within companies and people I know from social networking to help me apply for jobs and locate jobs I may have not found other wise.
- I plan to follow up with companies that I have interviewed with to let them know I am still interested if I have not heard from them within a certain time period. I will also send out thank you notes to any one I have interviewed with to thank them for their time and for interviewing me.
Impact:
- I plan to get 5 interviews from the resumes I have sent out.
- I plan to get job offers from 2 of the companies that I have interviewed with.
- These jobs will be my step stones to help me get started on the career path that will lead me to planning events for big companies across the country.
Talking Points
Organized:
