Make The Most Of Precious Memories During Youth Appreciation Week

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 7 , 2005 — As schools and community organizations gear up to recognize youth for their achievements and contributions to their communities during Youth Appreciation Week from November 14 to 18, Sony’s ImageStation® online photo service is offering some great photo sharing ideas on how to make it a memorable week for you and your children.

Share Your Child’s Achievements with Family and Friends

For example, create an online photo album of your child’s spelling bee competition, volunteer experience at the library, or singular recognition ceremony to celebrate his or her accomplishments and share them with family and friends. Better yet, create the album together so that you can re-live those special moments through pictures. Your children will undoubtedly feel good about the time spent together as a family, as well as themselves, for the good work they have done.

“Creating and sharing photo albums is an online activity that the whole family can participate in and enjoy,” said Bob Nell, vice president at Sony Electronics. “We want to make sure that the ImageStation experience is an enjoyable one. So, we have created an easy-to-use site that lets you create an online slideshow to share with family and friends, and a host of other services like creating fun and unique photo gifts that make the most of your memories.”

Making prints at Sony ImageStation is easy too. At only 12 cents per 4“ x 6” print (excluding shipping and handling), you can make photo albums for everyone without over stretching your budget or time. Simply go online at www.imagestation.com where you can upload images to your free online account, select the pictures you want to order and pay for, and have them delivered to you at home or pick them up at certain drug stores or camera shops, such as most CVS Pharmacy or Ritz Camera locations.

Make Your Child’s Celebration Special

Sony’s ImageStation service has a wealth of features to make sharing precious memories as special as your child.

With the data storage available through the service for photos, you can create personalized items like puzzles, playing cards, cookies, calendars, tote bags, and even professionally bound, printed high-quality photo books, mugs and T-shirts. Think of the fun you can have with these items as party giveaways or extra tokens to have on display around the house to show your child how much you care.

Take a few minutes to upload your photos from Youth Appreciation Week at www.imagestation.com. It is an ideal solution for busy moms and dads.
