Re: [Organizers] Organizers Digest, Vol 26, Issue 19 - Organizers

One of the tools that I've used in the past is "Wordle".  What's cool
about
it is that it accentuates words used more frequently.  It would mean (for
example) asking your dancers to respond to a prompt like, "Contra dancing
is...".  Then put all the responses into a document and paste that into
Wordle.  The result is usually quite striking.  Of course you could just
generate the text yourself.  I suspect that you all know about this but I
thought it was time to weigh in :-P  What else does a Jewish boy do on
Christmas Day?

A joyous holiday of your choice to all of you!

exercise, live music.... 
  Any ideas for words you find sell the
experience???? ??? 
 Nice idea.

  Has anyone made a contra word cloud before????

 No, simply used a few related words in event descriptions or on posters.

 Keywords/tags used here:

 Fun
 Live music
 All dances taught
 or
 All dances taught & prompted
 or
 Dances taught on the spot
 Try it!
 Intro session
 Bring your friends

 Sometimes:

 Tea & goodies
 Real Ale
 50/50 Raffle

 as appropriate, natch.

 Some events here use All Ages as a tag, which in BC is also code for a
 dry/no-bar event.
