 November 5th will be the Stop Hunger Now food packaging event at CVR. Gordon passed around the shift sign-up sheet.  Monmouth County Clubs need to provide 40-80 people per middle shift.  Volunteer shifts are set up 730-9a (contact Ken Scaggs) 9-11a and 1130-130 and clean up 1:30-done.  Even if you can’t volunteer, a donation of $29 will make 100 meals possible for children in orphanages.  The donations will be given to orphanages that associated with a school.  Research has shown (seem like common sense as well) that children learn better when hunger isn’t the first thing on their mind.  If you sign up on the sheet, Gordon will register you on the website.  If you want to register yourself and/or donate the website is events.stophungernow.org\eatontownnj

Pres. Barb thanks Frank Farrell, Custom Video Productions

 

 

Speaker: Frank Farrell, Custom Video Productions

 

in high school, Frank bought his own video production gear and started shooting weddings and other events. Eventually landed a job as the video guy at Bell Laboratories, he did a lot of freelance work for AT&T.

As the video thing started to snowball, He learned two valuable lessons.

 

First, he could never have a real job. So he created his own job, and Custom Video Productions (CVP) was born. That was back in 1978, when we recorded on film and edited with razor blades.

 

Second, it’s all about the story. Frank spoke and shared a video on how to best create videos using nothing more than a smartphone and a few inexpensive props.  To see more of Frank’s work or to contact him directly, visit his website.
