FCCLA meets Miley Cyrus!

On October 29, MN FCCLA was invited to help promote the Get UR GOOD ON campaign of Miley Cyrus in partnership with Youth Service America. Our MN FCCLA State President, State Vice President of Community Service and State Vice President of Public Relations along with Executive Director went backstage for a "Meet and Greet" with Miley. She met about 50 people in the room and sang her song "Climb" to us with her guiltarists and their acoustic guitars. Then she asked for questions. People asked her what she liked about being famous. She said it was neat to be able to travel. The Get UR Good On delegation was asked to stay until all other had left the room. So, before the awesome concert, our FCCLA officers got to meet her, have pictures taken and ask her to sign a FCCLA backpack for a state conference silent auction item. The Get UR Good On campaign is on the website www.geturgoodon.com . Meeting Miley was a totally cool and unique FCCLA happening!!

Here is what Miley Cyrus is encouraging youth to do:
Make ur own video
It's easy to show how you get ur good on with a video! All you need to do is create an account at GETURGOODON.org, put together a video about what you are doing, and upload it!
Upload videos of your service project for Global Youth Service Day, a recent volunteer activity you participated in, information for people to get involved with your favorite organization, or your idea on how to fix a global issue like clean water or poverty. The possibilities for Get UR Good On videos are endless
Not a movie pro? Think again. There are a lot of easy ways to make a movie out of your photos. You can even take videos with your cellphone and send them to a special email address. Check out the bottom of your Settings / Profile Edit page, but watch out -- you'll be charged whatever your cell phone provider charges for sending video messages (but you won't be charged by GETURGOODON).
Here are some handy tools you can use to make and edit videos
If you have Windows, Movie Maker should already be on your computer. If not, you can download it from Microsoft for Vista or XP.
For Mac users, you can use iMovie.
There's also a handful of free tools like virtualdub and the bootable CD with LiVES.
You can even convert powerpoint slideshows to video.
Fancy effects and edits are great and all, but it's what's in the video that really matters.
