Recently CAPS Media hosted a media workshop for Public Information Officers (PIOs) from throughout Ventura County at the CAPS Media Center. The group included PIOs from Ventura County, various cities, schools and other institutions and agencies in the region. The quarterly meeting provided the media professionals with suggestions for media production (video, radio and online), an overview and tour of the CAPS Media Center to allow them to more fully appreciate the resources available, plus time to network with colleagues with similar objectives.
The CAPS Media Family Treasures Workshop is coming on Thursday, May 30 at 4pm at the CAPS Media Center. If you’ve thought about documenting your family history this is a great opportunity to learn how to using family stories, interviews, photos, keepsakes, memorabilia and more to create a personalized and professional Family Treasures video. Every family has wonderful stories and memories that should be recorded and then shared with family members and passed along to generations. CAPS can help you move your family history project from the “I wish I’d done that” column to the “I’m glad I did it” column. The Free Family Treasures workshop is the place to share ideas on what to gather and learn about resources available to create your family treasure. The workshop will be held at the CAPS Media Center, 65 Day Road in Ventura. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 805.658.0500.
