Press Releases
I wrote a press release for 
LaterDog.com, for its initial launch 
mid-September 2010, in my capacity as a Public Relations 
contractor. You can contact founder Jessica Chapman at jessica at 
laterdog dot com.
Additionally, I edited all of the Yoga Yoga press releases during my 
time there, in addition to drafting several when the PR representative 
was on maternity leave or otherwise unavailable. An archive can be found

Below is a sample of a newsletter I designed and edited from given content, using 
Constant Contact in my year-long position as Vice-President of Public Relations for the Kappa Delta Alumnae Association of the Texas Hill Country; this is the August 2010 Newsletter. I held this position on a volunteer basis.
At Yoga Yoga I generated content for several weekly and monthly newsletters as needed, in addition to editing them all. All newsletters from June 2012-October 2012 were my sole responsibility. An 
archive can be found here.

August  Happenings! 
 |  
 
Have you  ever been interested in helping out with recruitment or getting  more involved with our local chapter Sigma Epsilon? If so, please join us for one or all of the activities we  have coming up!! 
Come see the infamous KD  pyramid, chants and help ladies improve their conversation skills to help them  recruit the best potential new members! Not only will this help the ladies for recruitment, but it will build great life skills these ladies can use  for interviews in the future. This activity will be from 10:30-12:00 on Aug  14th. Afterward we can go to lunch or tour the campus/capital if we choose! 
             Our "Forever 21"event will be Sigma  Epsilon's "Friends and Family" night at  the house from 7-8. Come support the chapter and watch their dress  rehearsal then join us at a local wine bar afterwards. 
            Last  but not least if you would like to volunteer for serving beverages and  greeting PNMs during recruitment please email Meghan at  m_e_malone@yahoo.com  to receive the evite for shift information. You can also visit our website  www.austinkd.com to view the schedule.

Last but not least, if you did not receive the July newsletter in the mail, please accept our greatest apologies! There was a miscommunication on the number of Kappa Deltas in the Austin area and we  were not aware of this until after the newsletters were printed. Over 350 newsletters were sent  to alumnae who were initiated prior to 2000. For those of you who did not  receive it, please see the newsletter attached for your viewing pleasure! We  greatly apologize for any confusion or concern around this newsletter. If you  feel as though your contact information is not up to date please email Meghan at   m_e_malone@yahoo.com  and be sure to contact nationals as well.
