FWBC NEWS CALENDAR
•The news schedule is coordinated by the staff pastors.
•Each ministry/community is assigned to a specific Sunday based on either their planned event on the
calendar or the focus for that particular month.
•The schedule is then sent to the Tonya Neal, Director of Communications to use as a guide for the news.
• If your event is not scheduled for the news you must contact your staff pastor.
•ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEWS AS WELL AS ANY VIDEO SHOOTS SHOULD BE COMPLETED
AT LEAST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED AIR DATE. A SCHEDULE OF WEEKLY MINISTRY FOCUSES ARE
ATTACHED WITH DUE DATES. IF YOU MISS YOUR SCHEDULED DUE DATE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR OPPORTUNITY
TO ADVERTISE YOUR EVENT ON THAT SUNDAY. YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT YOUR STAFF PASTOR TO HAVE
YOU ADDED AT A LATER DATE.
WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE FWBC NEWS?
If you are scheduled as a focus you can either:
1. Schedule a video shoot to express your message.
a. This requires creating a script and submitting an FWBC News Request
http://www.friendshipwest.org/fwbcnews/fwbcnews2.html. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THIS
FORM UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE
REQUEST IN ITS ENTIRETY.
b. If you don’t have any ideas of what you should focus on consult with your staff pastor.
c. Make sure that your script is no longer than 30 – 60 seconds. Read it and time it. We will edit if
it is too long. Please practice before you arrive for your scheduled taping.
d. Prior to submitting the FWBC News Request form have the following:
i. Script
ii. Dates you or persons taping are available and contact information.
iii. The date you are scheduled to air based on the schedule attached.
e. Once you submit the form you will be scheduled based on your request and the work schedule
of the videographer.
f. You will receive an email confirmation of the date and time you have been scheduled. If you do
not receive and email within 48 hours send an email to Tonya Neal, tneal@friendshipwest.org.
Remember; please arrive on time for your shoot.
14
YOUR SECOND OPTION:
2. Picture Collage or footage with a voice over.
a. Because your community is the highlight or focus for the news you may have old video (or be
aware of some that has been taped at one time), pictures or images that you would like to use
to express your message.
b. You would need to follow the procedures for submitting a news request. In addition request
the footage that should be used providing the date of the event if possible and emailing any
additional images you would like used.
c. A script must also be submitted so that we will be able to edit your piece appropriately.
WHAT IF MY COMMUNITY IS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEWS BUT IS NOT THE FOCUS?
3. If your community is not the focus, you can utilize both methods discussed previously, however your
advertisement will have to stay within the time frame of 15 seconds. This means that your script
cannot exceed 15 seconds. If you choose not to have a video shoot your announcement will
automatically become a billboard (graphic) with a voice over. You can submit your billboard
information through the general announcement submission on the project request form. We will use
that artwork that was designed for the flier for your event and create a billboard and add a voice over.

TICKET SALES & FEES
There are 3 options for ticket sales:
EVENTBRITE.COM
You can sell tickets and collect customer information. They will receive a printable ticket via email with
their confirmation. It allows you to have several different ticket prices, and can have a late registration
price to adjust at a chosen date/time.
You can refund tickets with this option through the event. The funds from ticket sales will be mailed to
FWBC 5-7 business days after the event.
The fees for Eventbrite are:
$0.00
For a free event (you will just
collect registration information
only, no payment)
$0.99 Per ticket sold
2.5% ticket value Per ticket sold
3.0% total cost
Per transaction (this fee can be
included in the ticket price)
Example: Ticket priced at $25.00
Customer Pays Fees: $25.00+$0.99+($25.00*2.5%)=X+X3.0%=$27.41 per ticket
The event will make the full price of the tickets.
Customer Pays Fees: $25.00-$0.99-($25.00*2.5%)=X-X3.0%=$22.68 per ticket
The event will make less than the actual ticket price
You will just need to decide who will cover the fee and Eventbrite will adjust the pricing, this is just to
help you decide what to price tickets at based on what you need to raise in return. So if you need
$25.00 per person you may want to make the ticket $30.00 per person and include the fees.
Eventbrite is a good option for annual or series events that where you can collect emails and contact
them when the event is happening again.
BOOK STORE
The online bookstore is another to sell tickets. There is no fee associated but you can not
capture/collect any information. It is for selling purposes only.
NARTHEX
There is not fee to sell your own tickets (for ministry events) in specified areas at Friendship-West. You
would submit a Building & Grounds request for table setup in your specified location.
With any type of tickets sales, be sure to include in your project request every location that the tickets
will be available.
34
EVENT FEEDBACK & SURVEYS
It may be good practice and future planning to collect feedback on first-time or annual events. This will
help evaluate what went well and what needed to be changed from all aspects. You can collect
feedback from volunteers, ministry partners, guests and event planning team.
There are several ways to collect responses:
EVENT-RECAP MEETING: a meeting after the event where the event planning team meets and
discusses the successes and trails of the event. Also you can decide whether the event met its purpose.
PAPER SURVEY: create a paper survey for guest or volunteers of the event and collect info about their
opinion of the event’s success.
ONLINE SURVEY: create on online survey for anyone to fill out about their opinion of the event success;
a free online survey is: www.surveymonkey.com
35

  • 4. 4 Even though a staff pastor approves an event it, may conflict with something previously scheduled. Cornell Towns has the final approval based on scheduling. Standing request means the same event with the same setup occurs regularly. Please put when it will occur and an end date in the (If “YES” Every:) box.
  • 5. 5 Please put the correct staff pastor email. If they do not approve it, it will not be scheduled. Follow up with you staff pastor to make sure that they received it and approved it. Cloth table clothes will only be used for large events, all others will be plastic. Selecting this box does not mean approval. Approval comes from the staff pastor via email.

Video recoding includes sound. Audio recording is if you want a CD only. Video recording is a DVD. You must do a sound request for each space that you need. All rooms are different. You have to do a sound request for any type of sound need, even if you need 1 mic or just want to play a CD on the sound system. For large events such as concerts, shows, etc. consider scheduling a rehearsal with AV and B&G to have time to make any need changes.
  • 7. 7 Use this space to be specific about your needs; if you want photography, you need a laptop, and special lighting, etc. Microphone types are Wired, Wireless, and Lavaliere.

  • 13. 13 FWBC NEWS CALENDAR •The news schedule is coordinated by the staff pastors. •Each ministry/community is assigned to a specific Sunday based on either their planned event on the calendar or the focus for that particular month. •The schedule is then sent to the Tonya Neal, Director of Communications to use as a guide for the news. • If your event is not scheduled for the news you must contact your staff pastor. •ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEWS AS WELL AS ANY VIDEO SHOOTS SHOULD BE COMPLETED AT LEAST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED AIR DATE. A SCHEDULE OF WEEKLY MINISTRY FOCUSES ARE ATTACHED WITH DUE DATES. IF YOU MISS YOUR SCHEDULED DUE DATE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE YOUR EVENT ON THAT SUNDAY. YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT YOUR STAFF PASTOR TO HAVE YOU ADDED AT A LATER DATE. WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE FWBC NEWS? If you are scheduled as a focus you can either: 1. Schedule a video shoot to express your message. a. This requires creating a script and submitting an FWBC News Request http://www.friendshipwest.org/fwbcnews/fwbcnews2.html. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THIS FORM UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE REQUEST IN ITS ENTIRETY. b. If you don’t have any ideas of what you should focus on consult with your staff pastor. c. Make sure that your script is no longer than 30 – 60 seconds. Read it and time it. We will edit if it is too long. Please practice before you arrive for your scheduled taping. d. Prior to submitting the FWBC News Request form have the following: i. Script ii. Dates you or persons taping are available and contact information. iii. The date you are scheduled to air based on the schedule attached. e. Once you submit the form you will be scheduled based on your request and the work schedule of the videographer. f. You will receive an email confirmation of the date and time you have been scheduled. If you do not receive and email within 48 hours send an email to Tonya Neal, tneal@friendshipwest.org. Remember; please arrive on time for your shoot.
  • 14. 14 YOUR SECOND OPTION: 2. Picture Collage or footage with a voice over. a. Because your community is the highlight or focus for the news you may have old video (or be aware of some that has been taped at one time), pictures or images that you would like to use to express your message. b. You would need to follow the procedures for submitting a news request. In addition request the footage that should be used providing the date of the event if possible and emailing any additional images you would like used. c. A script must also be submitted so that we will be able to edit your piece appropriately. WHAT IF MY COMMUNITY IS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEWS BUT IS NOT THE FOCUS? 3. If your community is not the focus, you can utilize both methods discussed previously, however your advertisement will have to stay within the time frame of 15 seconds. This means that your script cannot exceed 15 seconds. If you choose not to have a video shoot your announcement will automatically become a billboard (graphic) with a voice over. You can submit your billboard information through the general announcement submission on the project request form. We will use that artwork that was designed for the flier for your event and create a billboard and add a voice over.

  • 33. 33 TICKET SALES & FEES There are 3 options for ticket sales: EVENTBRITE.COM You can sell tickets and collect customer information. They will receive a printable ticket via email with their confirmation. It allows you to have several different ticket prices, and can have a late registration price to adjust at a chosen date/time. You can refund tickets with this option through the event. The funds from ticket sales will be mailed to FWBC 5-7 business days after the event. The fees for Eventbrite are: $0.00 For a free event (you will just collect registration information only, no payment) $0.99 Per ticket sold 2.5% ticket value Per ticket sold 3.0% total cost Per transaction (this fee can be included in the ticket price) Example: Ticket priced at $25.00 Customer Pays Fees: $25.00+$0.99+($25.00*2.5%)=X+X3.0%=$27.41 per ticket The event will make the full price of the tickets. Customer Pays Fees: $25.00-$0.99-($25.00*2.5%)=X-X3.0%=$22.68 per ticket The event will make less than the actual ticket price You will just need to decide who will cover the fee and Eventbrite will adjust the pricing, this is just to help you decide what to price tickets at based on what you need to raise in return. So if you need $25.00 per person you may want to make the ticket $30.00 per person and include the fees. Eventbrite is a good option for annual or series events that where you can collect emails and contact them when the event is happening again. BOOK STORE The online bookstore is another to sell tickets. There is no fee associated but you can not capture/collect any information. It is for selling purposes only. NARTHEX There is not fee to sell your own tickets (for ministry events) in specified areas at Friendship-West. You would submit a Building & Grounds request for table setup in your specified location. With any type of tickets sales, be sure to include in your project request every location that the tickets will be available.
