SURPRISE THAT SPECIAL WOMAN, OR WOMEN, IN YOUR LIFE
ALREADY HAVE THE 411 AND READY TO DO THIS? LET'S GO.
Here are some commonly asked questions about this project...
[Please note: the FINAL due date is OCTOBER 18, 2024 – but the earlier the better – we’re offering discounts for the early birds.]
This is an invitation to join the BEO in putting together a beautiful book for and about women.
How? By designing a simple yet powerful book that includes pictures and some narrative about the woman.
Listen, we are fortunate enough to have some very special women in our lives. Yes, we’re spending an entire day discussing the impact of those women in our Basque communities, but we don’t think the conversation should end there. This book, with your support and inclusion, feels like an amazing way to keep the dialogue alive.
Want to know what else is super cool about your contribution? A portion of the proceeds will be placed in our Women’s Empowerment Fund. If you don’t know what that is, then make sure you check it out HERE.
A collection of pictures alongside short stories, or poems, or letters, or anything you want, really. It is absolutely okay to use your imagination.
No. We will be designing the book in-house.
- Go find your photo, or photos and put them in digital format. That may mean, if it’s an old picture, taking a picture of the picture. Don’t worry about it being straight, just pay closer attention to glares for lighting in the room or flashes. Probably not a good idea to use a flash. We’re allowing up to three images to a page.
- Once you’ve got that, fill in this form to submit the picture(s) and your narrative.
Here are some questions to get the wheels spinning:
- Why is she important to you?
- Is there an interesting historical or fun story about her in the Basque community?
- How has she been influential (to you, the community, etc.)?
- Perhaps you want to share a favorite recipe (and maybe a little story about it)?
- Is there a poem she loves?
- What is your fondest memory of her?
- What words of wisdom did she share with you?
We’re running specials leading up to the due date:
July-August: $105 for one page
September: $115 for one page
October: $125 for one page
We will sell the final product at the event; however, as a contributor, you will receive a copy without charge.
Unsure if you’ll be able to make it to the event? That’s okay. We will definitely be sure to get your copy to you.
Right here.
That’s okay. Shoot us an email at info@basqueeducational.org and let us know the check is in the mail.
