    The Salvation Army has helped the needy in San Bernardino since 1887

     
    (SAN BERNARDINO, Calf.) It might seem like a very small gesture in the grand scheme of things, but when the local Salvation Army Corps (www.salvationarmyusa.org), local residents and several businesses join forces to make the holiday season memorable for needy children, it makes a huge difference in so many lives.
     
    The Giving Tree, as a portion of this holiday program is known, revolves around actual Christmas trees, which are set up in local malls the day after Thanksgiving. Giving Tree volunteers match shoppers with the hundreds of children who are relying on The Salvation Army this year to bring them a Merry Christmas.
     
    One of these trees is at Inland Center Mall in San Bernardino. It will help the San Bernardino Citadel Corps provide toys to perhaps hundreds of children in San Bernardino, Highland, Grand Terrace, Colton and Bloomington.
     
    “You can support our Giving Tree by visiting our table in the Inland Center Mall from November 29th to December 24th,” said Major Daniel Henderson, Corps officer for the San Bernardino Salvation Army. “Just pick up a Giving Tree tag and buy a gift corresponding to the tag!
     
    Last year, José Gonzalez was a first time volunteer with The Salvation Army, and chose to help the Giving Tree Program at the Inland Center Mall. “It feels good to be volunteering and collecting toys for kids this Christmas,” said Gonzalez. Gonzalez is also a graduate from The Salvation Army’s six month rehabilitation program, and will soon graduate from its Path To Prosperity transitional living program.
     
    This 18 month program is one of a kind, and assists its participants in obtaining the skills they need to become self-supporting and financially independent after overcoming substance abuse. “The Salvation Army has helped me get my life together,” said Gonzalez.
     
    Shoppers wishing to participate in the Giving Tree will find cards attached to the Giving Tree. These cards include the names and wish lists of needy children whose families cannot afford to buy gifts. Shoppers simply pluck a tag off the Giving Tree and head for the appropriate store to purchase their gift donations. Shoppers keep the card as an ornament to hang on their own Christmas tree, reminding them of their good deed.
     
    Larry Rangal, of Highland, donated two toys to the Giving Tree Program last year. Charity has been an ongoing tradition for Rangal since marrying his wife more than 20 years ago.
     
    “This is one of our little quirks. Now that our kids are grown-up and out of the house, we thought we’d provide toys for other children,” said Rangal. “It makes you feel good too.”
     
    Jill Grace, of Highland, was shopping with 3-year-old Allie Chavez when she noticed the Giving Tree and decided to donate two large bags with about 10 toys. “These children are not asking for much,” said Grace. “What child asks for Monopoly, especially nowadays.”
     
    Grace became involved with The Salvation Army more than a decade ago, during the September 11th tragedy. “I have always been a giving person, and I thought to myself ‘how can I help’,” said Grace. By volunteering with The Salvation Army, Grace was able to provide that help. “Me and my husband helped The Salvation Army serve meals to the workers at Ground Zero,” said Grace.
     
    “This is a great way to start a tradition with your own family, by selecting a gift for a needy child together. The gifts are based on their individual wishes and for some children, it may be the only gift they receive all year,” said Capt. Daniel Henderson of the San Bernardino Corps of The Salvation Army.
     
    “Soccer balls, dolls and clothes are just a few items on each child’s wish list,” said Capt. Henderson. “Shoppers who participate in the program are encouraged to shop for more than what is needed on the list. I can’t think of a better way for business owners and managers to help the community and spread the spirit of Christmas.”
     
    The Salvation Army is looking for other business owners and managers who would like to have a tree at their place of business for employees and/or customers.

    Keep The Bells Ringing This Holiday Season

    (SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) The “miracle” of Christmas is repeated over and over again through the joy of caring and sharing. The San Bernardino Salvation Army (www.salvationarmyusa.org) is seeking volunteers to ring bells in Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland, Rialto, and San Bernardino.
     
    The nationally recognized shiny red kettle is an integral part of the Christmas scene, with millions of dollars donated each year to aid needy families, seniors, and the homeless, in keeping with the spirit of the season.
     
    “This is a wonderful way to help disadvantaged people in our community, simply by volunteering as bell ringers,” said Major Stephen Ball, commander of The Salvation Army of San Bernardino. “We’re looking for individuals, families and groups to spend a day at one of our more than 30 locations in the San Bernardino area.”
     
    The Salvation Army began ringing its bells this year on Friday, Nov. 16th and continues from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday until Christmas Eve.
     
    Anyone who would like to donate a few hours of his or her time can volunteer.  However, a parent or guardian must accompany individuals under the age of 16. Most volunteers ring two hours at a time, but groups are asked to provide ringers who can work in shifts for an entire day.
     
    “The more people who volunteer, the fewer people the agency must hire,” said Major Ball “For each volunteer bell ringer we have, it means more money raised in direct support of our services to those families in need.”
     
    This year, the Sierra del Mar Divisional Headquarters of the Salvation Army has already helped its San Bernardino chapter with a “bell-ringing marathon.” Major Butch Soriano, the divisional finance secretary, came to the Colton Wal-Mart on Tuesday, Dec. 3. From 9 a.m. that day until 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, he rang the bell for 105 hours straight, raising a total of $2,696.42 for the San Bernardino Corps.
     
    Salvation Army Major Butch Soriano just set a new world record for the longest continuous hand bell-ringing by an individual but fell $7,000 short of his $10,000 goal.

    Salvation Army Major Butch Soriano just set a new world record for the longest continuous hand bell-ringing by an individual but fell $7,000 short of his $10,000 goal.

    The Salvation Army was holding a competition amongst its officers and members to see who could ring the bell the longest. Major Soriano ended his service in a three-way tie for first place, along with another Salvation Army officer in Minnesota and a member in Texas.
     
    Major Soriano not only braved the cooler temperatures and on the final day, rain to serve his division. He also began his service by driving more than 100 miles from his office in San Diego to the San Bernardino Corps headquarters.
     
    The divisional officer said he did it to bring attention to a Salvation Army location that’s doing great things that may not be as highly noticed as what corps in larger cities do.
     
    “There tends to be a lot of focus on the metropolitan areas like San Diego and Los Angeles,” Major Soriano said. “But I know San Bernardino does a lot of great things, so I wanted to bring the public awareness of them.”
     
    Where does the money raised by Major Soriano and the hundreds of others ringing bells in San Bernardino go? For Christmas, the Salvation Army creates holiday food baskets for more than 600 local families. On Christmas Day, The Salvation Army of San Bernardino hosts a Christmas Dinner that historically provides a beautiful meal to 300 people. Donations raised by bell ringers help make this possible.
     
    “The San Bernardino Corps also needs food every day for those at its Hospitality House transitional shelter,” said Major Ball.  Up to 75 family members stay in its transitional and emergency family shelters.
     
    The Salvation Army also needs food daily for up to 200 people who receive a free dinner served six nights a week. Approximately 40,000 meals are served annually from the Army’s kitchen located at 746 W. 5th Street in San Bernardino.
     
    Feeding the hungry is just one of the ways money donated to The Salvation Army helps. The Salvation Army also helps provide emergency services including food; lodging for homeless or displaced families; clothing and furniture; assistance with rent or mortgage and transportation when funds are available. The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) assists rescue workers and evacuees in such disasters as fires.
     
    To volunteer as a bell ringer in Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland, Rialto, and San Bernardino, call The Salvation Army at (909) 888-1336.
     
    In addition, one may donate to The Salvation Army online, through the website www.salvationarmyusa.org. Donors may specify to which branch of The Salvation Army the money should be sent.
     
    How the Bell Ringer campaign began:
    Captain Joseph McFee, serving with the San Francisco Salvation Army Corps in 1891, wanted to serve Christmas dinner to the poor in his neighborhood. But he didn’t have money to do so.
     
    As a sailor in Liverpool, England, Captain Mcfee saw people on the docks throw money into a large kettle called “Simpson’s Pot” to help the poor. He decided this might work in California too.
     
    Captain Mcfee set up a kettle at the Oakland Ferry Landing, which operated a ferry that was, in those days, the only way across San Francisco Bay. He put a sign on the kettle saying, “Keep the Pot Boiling” and raised enough money to serve the Christmas dinner.
     
    His idea spread quickly, and by 1897 Salvation Army Corps nationwide were collecting money in kettles to serve the needy in their communities. Among the Salvation Army Corps collecting money this way before the turn of the Twentieth Century was The Salvation Army of San Bernardino, which formed in 1887.

    New Salvation Army Leaders Join the Local Core

     

    Major Dan and Captain Anya Henderson

    The Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino recently welcomed new corps officers, Major Daniel and Captain Anya Henderson.

    (San Bernardino, CA)  The Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino recently welcomed new corps officers, Major Daniel and Captain Anya Henderson. The couple previously served the Salvation Army in Estonia, a nation that once was part of the Soviet Union.
     
    “We believe that the best days of the communities that we serve are just ahead of us, and that working together, we will usher in the bright future that we have longed to see!  Don’t miss out on this opportunity to stand together for the good of our community.  I will be looking forward to meeting you,” said Major Dan Henderson.
    Anya was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. At that time, her city was known as Leningrad, and country was known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
     
    In the early 1990s the Soviet Union dissolved.  Leningrad, which had been named for the first Soviet leader, Vladimir Lenin, took its original name of St. Petersburg and most of the Soviet nation, the Russian Socialist Republic, reverted to its original name, Russia. There are also more than a dozen smaller nations that gained their freedom from what was the Soviet Union.  The Hendersons have served with The Salvation Army in several of these former Soviet Republics.
     
    The Soviet Union had banned most churches from the country, but the Russian government was more receptive. In 1992, it allowed the Salvation Army to return to the Russian Federation.
    Anya Henderson was one of the first soldiers to serve in the new Russian Salvation Army.  She served as a youth worker, administrative aid, corps program assistant and translator (Russian to English).
     
    Anya graduated from the St. Petersburg University Herzen State College of Education with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education (English Language Emphasis) in 1999.  By then she had met and become engaged to Daniel Henderson.
     
    Daniel Henderson is a southern Californian. He graduated in 1989 from Madison High School in San Diego, as a National Merit Scholar, and earned Regent’s Scholarship to the University of California, San Diego. In 1993, Daniel graduated from the University with a bachelor’s of science in biochemistry and cell biology.
     
    From 1993-1994, Daniel Henderson served in the former Soviet republic of Georgia as the Salvation Army’s humanitarian aid coordinator for Western Georgia.  During that time, he oversaw the distribution of over 4,000 metric tons of USDA food aid to over 100,000 people, during the instability at the end of the Georgian civil war.
     
    Daniel then returned to southern California, and in 1996 completed the two-year Salvation Army Officer’s Training at the College For Officers Training in Rancho Palos Verdes. Upon graduation and commissioning as an Officer, Daniel was appointed to lead the Petrodvorets Corps in the outskirts of St. Petersburg.  He served in that Corps on missionary service for one year, then returned to the USA to take up appointment at the Cathedral City Corps.  He then served for one year at the Santee Corps, before being moved to the College For Officer Training as a Training Officer.
     
    In 2001 Anya completed the course of Salvation Army Officer’s Training at the College For Officers Training in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.  While she completed her two-year training, she and Daniel were married in March of 2000.
     
    The couple then served together in Cheyenne, Wyoming from 2001-2002 and Narva, Estonia from 2002-2009.
     
    Captain Anya served as the Corps Officer of the Tallinn Kopli Corps from 2009 until coming to San Bernardino. During their time in Tallin, which is the capital of Estonia, Major Daniel served as the Regional Commander for all Salvation Army units in Estonia.
     
    Anya is an accomplished writer and speaker in both Russian and English, and routinely translates speech and written material into both languages.  Daniel has spoken and given lectures in Scotland, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Russia, and the United States.
     
    The couple has six 6 children, ranging in age from 16 years to 16 months.

    Creating an Advertising Campaign That WORKS – Ad Development

     (San Bernardino, CA)  “We are all products. Remember that. As an advertising and public relations creative director, my product is problem solving, knowledge and creativity,” said Carl M. Dameron creative director and founder of Dameron Communications.
     
    “I am going to tell you how to develop an advertising and public relations program to effectively reach your target market, create a positive image of a business in the community and entice the market to buy more of your products, goods and/or services,” said Dameron.
     
    This series has been going for several weeks.  Go to the website for the entire backlog at
    at DameronCommunications.com/blog

    Layout 1
    This January 2012 ad uses the campaign theme for the Magnolia at Highland – “Affordable Luxury”.  We also target seniors by saying, “For ages 62 and better”.  The campaign was very successful. The senior apartments have 100+ person waiting list.

     
    Ad development
    This is where your research bears fruit. Take the information obtained through your research that tells you who your customer is, what they like, and what they like about your products and services to develop a campaign theme to reach your target market.
     
    This theme must translate well into print, radio, television, your website, billboards, Email, social networks, and direct mail to grab the target’s attention and leave the right impression. If you need help to develop your ads use: and ad agency, freelance artists, university students or talk to your newspaper or radio representative.
     
    You can also call Dameron Communications to help you develop your plan.
     
     
    Campaign goal
    We know the goal is to increase sales and profit:

    • But of what product ?   You want to include all of them but really pick one.
    • Of what service?  Again I know, you want to include all of them, but again pick one.
    • Where is it?  Where are your locations or do you come to me?
    • When do customers want to buy your stuff? — Winter, spring, summer or fall?

     
    Start by reviewing your sales and promote your most popular product or the thing you are known for.
     
    80 percent of your business comes from 20 percent of your customers.  Define who the 20 percent are, what they want and create your campaign to go after more people like them!
     
    For Argosy University they are highly recognized for their Postgraduate degrees in Psychology, Education and Business, that’s their 20 percent.  So our goal was to increase enrollment in those programs.  They also have bachelors degree completion programs and other offerings.
     
     
    Slogans – “Campaigns that work!”  That’s the Dameron Communications slogan
     
    How do you start?  Try creating a quick five-second description of what you do that makes your customer feel better good about buying your product.  Then massage it into a slogan.
     
    Here are some examples.
     

    • For SpeakerCraft we created the slogan “The Art of Sound”.  They sell speakers and high-end stereo equipment.  Not just things to make music, but things to make music sound exceptionally great.

     

    • For the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health AIDS program the slogan was “Know your Status”.  We show multiethnic real people and ask the question: “Are you HIV Positive of Negative?”
    HIV/AIDS Bus Shelter
    Are you HIV Positive of Negative?  Do you know?  You should know.  Take control.  Get checked for free at the San Bernardino County Health Department.

     

    • For The Magnolia at Highland the slogan is “Affordable Luxury”.   This project is a low income senior citizen complex, however it is designed and built like a luxury resort.  So we sold it that way.   We used the images reserved for luxury spas and luxury resorts, people in the pool, the cabañas and the beautiful entry.  Instead of 62 and older we came up with 62 and Better.

     

    The Magnolia at Highlands Senior Citizen Apartments Grand Opening invitation created for Western Seniors Housing
    The Magnolia at Highland Senior Citizen Apartments’ Grand Opening invitation created for Western Seniors Housing.  It clearly shows the luxury features available in the Senior Apartments.
    • For Argosy University it’s “Education that Works.”  This slogan has multiple meanings.  Not only does the education help you be a better person, but the reason many people get a post-graduate degree is to get a better job and make more money, so having a degree from Argosy helps to get you more work.  The other issue with Universities new to the area is the question of trust. We included the line “quality Education for over 30 years in Psychology, Education and Business” to demonstrate that Argosy was not a new University, just new to the area.  This line is to solidify the brand and increase trust.  The campaign increase enrollment 450 percent and made the campus the fastest growing start up the history of 22 campus system.
    • Yes, it does sound like our slogan.  Argosy abandoned it and so we picked it up.  Waste not, want not.
    Education That Works was the Slogan we created for Argosy University
    “Education That Works” was the slogan we created for Argosy University. This is the billboard we created, we also created newspaper ads, plus magazine and radio commercials.

    Good luck, and remember the target for your slogan is your customers, not you!

    Salvation Army Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Fund Drive

    DR_G_Hurrican_Relief_Flyer

    By now, I’m sure we all know about the tremendous destruction, loss of life, and upheaval caused by Hurricane Sandy on the East coast.  Some of us may have experienced a natural disaster, some not.
    Either way, the terrible conditions experienced by our east coast brothers and sisters cannot be ignored.

    It is for this reason, I’m announcing the launching of a citywide collaborative effort know as the;

    Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Fund Drive.

    I would like to thank the following groups for their collaboration effort on helping to launch this project.

    • CHS Music Department
    • Lefty’s Sports Outfitters
    • The Salvation Army


    Basically the details are this;
    1. Flyers are being handed out over the next three days.
    2. Cash and checks will be accepted at: Lefty’s Sports Outfitters, downtown Colton (address and phone number are on the flyer)
    3. All checks should be made out to The Salvation Army
    4. Money collected this week at Lefty’s will be delivered to the local Salvation army headquarters next Friday, who will in turn deposit the money and wire it to the Salvation Army on the East Coast.

    If you, or any group, or anyone you happen talk to, would like to participate, please contact me at 909-213-3730 (cell).
    Flyers are available (see attached) and started going out yesterday, with the goal of covering 5,000 households and busineeses this weekend.  If we to are able to get more groups involved, we can certainly cover more households and businesses.
    The drive will last for two weeks, ending November 16 just before the Thanksgiving break.
