**Mary Amore** **Capstone Project Proposal**


 * Project Title: Sacred Salutes:** //A Thanksgiving Tribute to our Military//

our brave men and women in uniform. In order to accomplish this task, I will first invite readers of the Mayslake Ministries Facebook Page to post messages of gratitude for our military. I will then gather up these messages and create a digital story on Animoto that will employ music, images and voice overlay. This completed project will then be posted the week of Thanksgiving on the Mayslake Ministries Facebook Page, Pinterest, Twitter, and other social media sites.
 * Project Description:** My capstone project will be a Animoto Power Point Presentation saluting


 * Projected Goals**: Success of this endeavor can be measured in the number of comments, shares and “Likes” that this project will receive on social media. We currently have 2700 followers, and it is my intention to reach 25% of this audience, or a minimum of at least 675 people.


 * Audience Description:** The audience we are communicating with are the 2700 followers on the Mayslake Ministries Facebook Page. We are anticipating that their network of followers will be inclined to like and/or share this message with their friends. In the past, our social media followers have been very receptive to messages and programs regarding our military outreach program, so I do anticipate that our social network of friends and social media sites, including Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn will gain us much exposure on this project.


 * Projected Timeline:** Monday, October 6th – 10th, I will invite our Facebook readers daily to post messages of gratitude on the Mayslake Ministries wall.

October 11- November 8th I will work on creating my Animoto video slides, which will include photo images, texts, music and voice overlay. The texts and voice overlays will be the messages received from our Facebook viewers from the week of October 6-10th.

I will submit completed Animoto video to Sr. Caroline the week of November 10th, in case it needs editing.

The Capstone Project will then be posted to the Mayslake Ministries Facebook Page and website November 24th, 2014 and will run through Thanksgiving.


 * Technology to be used**: Facebook, Animoto, Power Point, Twitter, LinkedIn, Email, Mayslake Ministries Website


 * Projected Budget:** Since this project will be done entirely online and using 2.0 web tools, the only project cost is my precious time, which is priceless!!


 * Dept. Approval**: None needed, I am the Executive Director!
