Actually, that was the idea I had brought up back in November, when this idea of the workshops started but apparently by that time the high schools had already done their college fairs (well actually the last college fair was the week after, but we couldn't get a booth in time).

I will remember this idea for next year so that we can get on the ball & have our own little booth.

I attended an all-girls' HS, and we had Daily Bulletins read every morning before homeroom. I recall hearing about Scholarships from the Alumnae Panhellenic Assn. of Hawaii because the women made an appeal to high schools around the island to make announcements about this scholarship. Would it be possible for your APH to do the same? Call high schools in your area to help spread the word?

Another great idea! That is actually one of the ideas we came up. We are going to try and make sure the schools read them during the announcements.

I'm the youngest member in the APH, so they were looking to me for a lot of information, but I've been out of HS for 5 years, and so I was kinda fresh out of ideas....or the ideas I came up with haven't worked in the past.


So far, we've thought of:
--give the info for HS announcements
--put an ad in the HS newspapers
--put an ad in the city newspaper

I am also gonna go to my alma mater and try to see if my old teachers wouldn't mind me passing out cards & flyers.

Sometimes high schools in the area will not allow us to do hand outs (so we mail postcards to all the senior women who have released their addresses), but they WILL announce a scholarship. So we give several scholarships at a style show/informational luncheon.
