Many of us want to support our SCFP Families in their business, artistic, and personal ventures, so we’re going to try something a little more interactive than the SCFPSA Business Directory alone.
We want to create space for our members to share their news without worrying about judgement around self-promotion, and we want to get to know one another better. Therefore, while members are always welcome to announce their projects on the private Facebook group, members are especially encouraged to “Share Your Shit” on Fridays.
What can and should be shared? Anything at all! Members are welcome to share business promotions, online contests, special sales. Please announce if you are taking sign-ups and registrations from classes or workshops, accepting money for charities, or hosting open houses. Maybe someone needs votes in a cutest baby contest, Facebook likes to win a new dresser, or shares on a new venture – whatever! Parents can sell us their kid’s Girl Scout cookies, Crafters should let us know if they’ve added new products to their Etsy stores, Artists can share recent publications or accolades, Athletes can share new achievements, and Photographers can post photos from recent shoots. The information you share does not have to be specific in anyway to your role as a SCFP Spouse – that’s only one role of many we each play. We want to support one another and to build stronger ties in our community and this is one way we can achieve those goals.
Every Friday a “Share Your Shit” post will be added to the group to remind our members to please share the goings-on in their world. The information shared will be rounded up into a weekly website post, and distributed to our 100+ membership body in the SCFPSA newsletter (if you don’t want the information posted in the Facebook group to be shared in a website post, just specify so when you share).
Not a Facebook user but have something to share? You are always welcome to email SCFPSA using this site’s contact page and we will promote the info on your behalf. SCFPSA is happy to support the efforts of all our Fire Families!
