PRSSA Goes Pokerface

PRSSA is back in full swing this semester, and we started out with helping one of our clients, GYN Cancer Alliance. We have an internal student run PR firm called Bear Communications. We help local organizations free of charge with different PR activities.

The local GYN Cancer Alliance in Springfield had a Casino Night called Chips for Cancer in the Tower Club. It was a very swank location, and we got almost full rein to decorate the place with fun cards, dice, etc. Our favorite was probably the giant blow-up dice! Everyone needs a set, seriously.

It was a lot of fun setting up. Enjoy some pictures from the afternoon:

The whole time, I could only think of how I wanted the song Pokerface by Lady Gaga playing in the background. I know, it is silly but fitting with the decor.

In other PRSSA news, we have a new client this semester: Urban Districts Alliance. I am so excited to possibly work with them. Cheers to another semester!

Wine, Fashion, and Beer

So this semester has been a successful one for Community Relations in PRSSA at Missouri State, if I do say so myself.

In one week, we volunteered at a Wine Tasting at MacDoodles for GYN Cancer Alliance, walked the runway for a Girls Night Out at Talbots for Ozarks Food Harvest, and put on Beerfest at the Shrine Mosque for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks.

Here are some pictures to enjoy:

Lindsey, PR Manager at OFH, could not help but try on an outfit even though she was not planning on being a model.

Sorry, no photos from Beerfest because I did not attend, but I hear great things from my fellow PR volunteers. And I look forward to what next semester holds for PRSSA!

P.S. Wednesday is World AIDS Day, and I plan on spending it at the Candlelight Vigil at Founder's Park in Springfield, MO sponsored by AIDS Project of the Ozarks. The event starts at 5 p.m. and will last until 6 p.m. Please consider attending to support the people in our community struggling with this terrible disease. If you cannot make that, mark December 6th on your calendar because Jeanne White-Ginder is speaking at MSU in honor of World AIDS DAY.
