[Throwback Thursday 08.29.2013] Recruitment through pictures
So they say that a picture paints a thousand words, which is why photographs have always proven powerful tools in recruiting new members for our mountaineering club. The visual impact is immediate and enticing. And though I'm no longer an active member, I'm glad that the Smart Mountaineering Club has continued on what we've started some nine years ago and is now recruiting for its 8th batch of trainees. The recruitment booth active members have set up at our lobby -- replete with pictures, a tent, and other camping gear -- reminds me of exhibits past. These here are photos taken from my phone back in June 2005 (which explains the lousy resolution) when we were setting up a photo exhibit to recruit a new batch of trainees, the club's 2nd actually. A slice of the finished product. I must say that the photos really got a lot of people excited back then. Posing by an exhibit panel, trying to play cute.
