Marketing-Curious - Understand the imperative role a Facebook page plays in our organization. You need to have the ability to absorb the big picture and who realizes that the words and images posted on the Facebook page will be a direct reflection of the brand.
Winning Personality - The page editor needs to be likeable. He/She he should be the type of individual that unknowingly draws people in like a magnet — without ever trying. Your followers relate to and support TAW. This page is a chance for us to come alive and communicate with your fans one-on-one.

Fast On Feet - There are times when you will have to work autonomously and extremely quickly to put out fires.

You need to have sound judgment, comfortable being held accountable and who has the ability to make executive decisions on the spot.
Flexible - It is extremely important that you are able to go with the flow and quickly change course. As the Facebook page evolves, you will have to suss out how many times daily you want to post, what the page editors should post, and what types of media to post. It is important to try new ways of creating contests and competitions for fans. You are willing to experiment to see what works best with your audience on the Facebook page using various new tools as they emerge.

Get excited! I mean REAL excited! Because we have a new record in TAW!!!!!!!!
Today, we have broken our all time high record for fundraising! The year of 2015 held our highest record previously with $4525, Today, we smashed that record to bring home the new record of $4581.
This greatly shadows 2017's Fundraising of $3137. And all this is possible because of you, the TAW members donating to help keep our community alive. So be proud of this new record.
Target Goal is in sight. Target locked. You are clear to donate. I repeat, you are clear to donate.

TAW members have banded together to raise $3898 so far. And we're not even finished the second week! That's absolutely brilliant!
To give you an idea of how we got here so far, here's some interesting facts:
1 - 157 Members have donated so far

3 - 5 x "Give 5" designs have sold from the Shop

Keep up the awesome work ladies and gentlemen. Keep those donations coming in and we'll cross the finish line together
Good morning everyone, and a good morning it truly is.
The reason it is said to be such a good morning, is that no later did we close the day off just over $2k yesterday, than I wake up with an email from those hard working guys up in Treasury. The email is simply this, we're now at $2526 in donations.
This is absolutely amazing, and it's all because of you, the TAW members, showing your support for our community. So please, keep it up folks, and we'll reach that $6750 marker in no time.
Hey there!
Did you ever wish to be able to wear fancy robes and be on top of the Teamspeak server when in TAW?
Well, here you have the opportunity to do so!
SOCOP is actively recruiting and looking for TAW members who want to take over a PIA liaison position. Your job will be to stay in touch with the Army PIAs assigned to you and be their point of contact. For that, experience with PIAs is highly recommended as it helps you understand what your PIAs are doing so you can help and assist them.
We're currently in need for 4 NA and 3 EU guys (and gals) so if you are interested, please (if you haven't already) take the OpenLearning PIA class so you get a better understanding of what it's all about and talk to me, also in case you have any questions.
Thank you and don't hesitate to ask me anything you'd like regarding this topic, there are no stupiid questions :)
PhilvP [SOCOP SO]
Btw: We don't actually wear robes all day long, it'd be really fancy though.
Recently, there has been an influx of meme's, er I mean blog posts, regarding the Give 5 Fundraiser. And that's is a good thing. The reason why it's a good thing, is because the staff of TAW not only want to bring it to the attention of all members, but also want to keep everyone updated on our progress.
And where we stand right now, is utterly impressive! So impressive that when I told my neighbors cat how well we're doing (don't judge me for talking to animals), he has this to say....
And Mr Flufferbutter is right, it is impressive. We're closing our first week of the Give 5 Campaign at $2,198. $2,198 out of our $6750 Goal. 1 week in and you, our TAW family, have already put us at 1/3 of our goal. That is something you all can be proud of.
But we can't slow down now. We need to keep this momentum going like a runaway freight train. We need to keep this pace going if we want to make our goal. And we can't do it without you.
Random TAW Member: But Rekon, how do I Give 5?
Rekon: I'm glad you asked "Random TAW Member". Below, is how you can Give 5.
So please, keep at it folks. TOGETHER, we can make this goal. More posts to come as we get closer to our Goal.
"And there we go folks, Give 5 starting strong right out of the gates. In lane 1 we have all of TAW members, 2605 members strong and boy are they wasting no time in this race!"
Give 5, the annual fundraiser of TAW. Now when it comes to any fundraiser, there's only 2 ways to start.
Option#1
or
Option#2
It's with great pride to see that TAW has chosen Option #2.
Now for quite some members, the annual fundraiser is something we are used to. We know what the funds go to and don't question, we proudly "Give 5" (more if we can afford it) or buy one of the Give 5 Products from TAW Shop (complete with option to customize Give 5 product). But then we have the newer members who either didn't make it to the All Hands Meeting on April 20th of 2018 or have never heard of our Give 5 Fundraiser. So we'll do a really quick breakdown....
Fundraiser will be conducted from April 29 - May 27.
Overview
2017 Total Revenue: $6,569.15
2017 Total Expense: $6,639.19 (70.04)
What does TAW have to pay for?
2017 TAW Revenue vs. Expenses
If you have any questions about our expenses or revenue sources, please feel free to contact any CC member for more information.
Targets
If all members donated.
2,605 members @ $5 = $13,025
This would mean we would not need another fundraiser whilst current CIC
Realistically would only expect half of the the members to donate.
1,302.5 members @ $5 = $6,512.5
Would still need a fundraiser next year. if did not have one towards end of this year.
DONATIONS TO INDIVIDUAL UNITS/DIVISIONS DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE GIVE FIVE FUNDRAISER. ONLY DONATIONS TO THE CENTRAL FUND.
Another way, is as stated, visit our TAW Shop and purchase either a premade item with either the 2017 or 2018 Give 5 Designs on them or create your own product with one of the 2 logos on them. Then fill our THIS FORM after completing your purchase.
So, you noticed that we already stated that we are off to a strong start. And it's true, we are off to an amazing start, 3 days in and we're already sitting well ahead of the pack.
Now we call to arms and ask that if you can, please do donate. So please.....
Riddle me this!?
Thank you to everyone who participated in Karaoke night, with a peak of 35 people listening through TAW Radio! People are already requesting for another karaoke night, which means you can definitely work up the courage to join and sing with us next time. ^_~. Please take a moment to give us your feedback on the events survey.
For the May TeamSpeak event, we will be trying something a new - Riddle & Escape Room: Can you get out? Vanguard’s very own Vevandre from DC Universe Online will be Game Maker and Master of these brain teasers. The event will be held on Saturday, 12 May @ 9pm CEST/2pm CST.
Here is a quick riddle to get your mind ready for this inescapable event:
“10 fish are in a tank! – 2 Drown, – 4 Swim away, – 3 Die. How many are left?”
An escape room is an interactive game where you are “trapped” in a room. The participants must try to leave the room within a certain time by searching for keys, codes and instructions, and by solving puzzles and riddles.
*Important* Please arrive on time as there will be two parts to the evening.
Part 1: Answer riddles to receive hints and extra clues for the escape room.
Part 2: Test your ability to solve puzzles with a three tier escape room.
Level 1 - Easy: Bootcamp
Level 2 - Medium: Escape Vanguard
Level 3 - Hard: Are you the big cheese?
The games will be on an individual bases. Please arrive 15 minutes early for a briefing. The invitation is open to everyone, feel free to invite a friend.😊
Will you escape or be stuck in the room forever?
SOCOP Team
P.S. Answer to the Riddles is 10.
Firstly, fish don’t drown, not in the conventional sense anyway. Secondly, if they are all in a tank, the fish cannot swim out of it or escape. And thirdly, if three have died, they would be floating at the top of the tank. Which means all 10 would still be in the tank.
