Check out Cyber-Seniors - Connecting Generations - Film Screening

We had a news snippet submitted to SeniorsResourceGuide National News & Events that caught our attention. Check out, "Cyber-Seniors – Connecting Generations – Film Screening." This is a new documentary film that is part of a nation-wide theatrical campaign to help promote youth volunteerism and senior tech literacy.

Cyber-Seniors chronicles the journey of a group of senior citizens as they discover the Internet through the guidance of teenage mentors. The cast of Cyber-Seniors both young and old, will make you laugh out loud (or LOL, as the Internet tech savvy teens say). 

Visit the website and view the movie Trailer and look for a showing in your area. If this movie is showing in your area, help a group of seniors and teens see this movie. It would be a great activity for a senior center or retirement community! www.cyberseniorsdocumentary.com

Have to Mention a Great Networking Group - Denver Senior Coalitions!

Want to introduce you to a great networking group - Denver Senior Coalitions. Seniors Resource Guide is a member. And the amazing part is that as a networking group, the dues we collect go into a Joint Coalition Assistance fund and through JCAF Volunteers, the money is given to needy seniors recommended by Coalition members. That is great in and of itself, but the amazing part is the strength of the organization that comes from all of the volunteers and members at large. Check out the group's website:
Website: www.DenverSeniorCoalitions.org

By the way, we (Seniors Resource Guide) built and maintain the website. This is an example of where a simple organizational website showcases the group's content and resources. The website has great content and resources for professionals because we have amazing members to talk about!

So thank you to all Denver Senior Coalition Members!

Videos of Events - What a great idea! Check out Denver's Senior Day at The Capitol 2014

Have to share that we worked with Colorado Senior Lobby and their Senior Day at The Capitol event. Karin Hall is a Board Member of Colorado Senior Lobby. At a planning meeting she shared the idea that it would be great to produce videos about the event and have live streaming. Live streaming was not in the budget but video production was. And everyone agreed and we did!

So Senior Day at The Capitol is over but not gone!
You can find it on YouTube
The group videotaped the event and posted it on their YouTube Channel. Watch the event videos to learn more about what this great event and the Colorado Senior Lobby organization is all about.

National Healthcare Decisions Day is Today April 16th

National Healthcare Decisions Day is today April 16th. Learn more about having advance directives and share this website.

The group has a short video that eloquently explains why advance planning is so important.

Where are events going in regard to media strategy?

When I ask the question, "Where are events going in regard to media strategy?" The answer I am looking for is, "Be sure to make a video of your event." And this is what Colorado Senior Lobby has done with their Senior Day at The Capitol that happened on April 2, 2014.

Here are some details ...
I am a volunteer and one of the Board of Directors for this group. Through the tremendous work of the event committee for this event (in particular Steve Grund), we were able to get a local News personality attend the event which in turn caused the news channel to send a camera crew. The news personality was Mark Koebrich, of KUSA Channel 9NEWS Denver. Mark Koebrich is well-known in Colorado for his 9News Senior Source.
Bottom line is that the 9News Station covered our great event and the Colorado Senior Lobby organization had wonderful promotion for this great event. Here are some links:

Here is a link to the news video 9NEWS produced about the event - Click Here

However the next step is that Colorado Senior Lobby hired a videographer to film the event and we are planning to make a few well-crafted short videos. These items should be available in about a week and we will be making more posts about this event and how we are using video to extend the reach of the event. Stay tuned!

One last comment - 9News recently updated their website and I personally like how easy it is to navigate and the combination of video and text. Check it out - Click Here.

And from Colorado Senior Lobby to KUSA Channel 9NEWS - thank you!
