Celebrate living history
So folks…come and celebrate living
history with me!
Hi there! My name is Bev Wilkinson and I am passionate about celebrating living history….
Intrigued? Well it all started by organising an exhibition celebrating the history of Frankston locals, I wanted to do something a little bit different.
So I dusted off my video camera and started interviewing seniors.
What I discovered was a need to cherish their memories.
They told me about first love, dances at the Mechanics Institute and the coal mine at Olivers Hill.
Suddenly I had a light bulb moment…. There should be a website celebrating their stories because maybe one day these people will pass but they would have provided an online legacy for their friends and family to see what it was like living in an community.
No I’m not the grim reaper…. But it’s a sad reality all these great stories if not documented would be lost.
Just have a gander at my blog www.goldendaysimages.com and you can see the amazing stories I have gathered so far.
My dream is to aim big! I want to establish a professional website celebrating these stories not only in Australia but world -wide.
I want to cherish stories of other communities within Victoria and Australia because everyone has a yarn to share!
I also want an option allowing video savvy seniors to up load their own stories!
Oh! Additionally I want to create a DVD series for the videos I have collected so far from Frankston seniors!
To do this I need to raise funds to hire a professional web guru and graphic designer.
Have I won lotto? Sadly no! That’s where you guys come in!
Pozible is like Australian Idol…. the public votes with their wallets to get a project up and running.
YOU THE PUBLIC! Have the power to make this project happen!
HELP ME! Make a touchdown with start-up costs to preserve living memories.
ITS ALL OUR NOTHING! Your pledge will only be processed if I reach my goal.
Pozible has a fully secure credit card portal and your credit card is only debited when the project is successful.
PLEASE SIR I WANT MORE! You will GET COOL STUFF in exchange for sponsorship and constant updates on Golden Days Images blog, Twitter and Facebook pages following my progress.
OH! I'M GUESSING YOU WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME? Well I am the new business owner of Golden Days Images which scans old photos to DVD and CD.
I like to talk in CAPITALS and have a Post Grad in Communications from Griffith University on the Gold Coast.
My ONLY employee is a dog called BUNNY!
I live near FRANKSTON in Victoria
I have a HAPPY DANCE! which I will demonstrate if I'm SUCCESSFUL!
Please spread the word and HOLLAR out about celebrating living history to friends and family

project and I look forward to having you on board!
