to  reach  those  goals.  This  will  require  CRP personnel to work closely with the local Navy or Marine  Corps  Public  Affairs  Office  (PAO),  as appropriate,  in  order  to  disseminate  religious program   information   and   to   realize   the   CRP publicity  goals.  This  section  provides  informa- tion  which  may  be  helpful  to  CRP  personnel concerned  with  Command  Religious  Program publicity. DETERMINING  PUBLICITY REQUIREMENTS With the help and guidance of the chaplains, Religious   Program   Specialists   who   are   con- cerned with publicity must determine in advance what   activities   and   events   require   publicity. Advance   publicity   for   religious   program   ac- tivities  is  a  very  effective  means  of  eliciting  the support  of  the  command  and  the  participation of  the  chapel  community.  An  accurate  assess- ment   of   the   nature,   purpose,   and   goals   of   a particular   religious   program   activity   or   event will help religious program personnel determine the   type   of   publicity   that   should   be   used. Religious,   community,   and   family   activities which may require publicity include but are not limited to: Divine services Administration   of   sacraments   and religious ordinances Weddings Funeral   services Devotional  activities Religious  instruction Religious  conferences,  seminars,  and retreats Community,  youth,  and  family  religious activities Personal  response,  people-to-people,  and Navy Handclasp activities Audiovisual   presentations   offered through  the  religious  program Religious  Program  Specialists  should  obtain from the cognizant chaplain the following infor- mation  pertaining  to  the  activities  which  are  to be  publicized: The  target  audience A  description  of  the  event The  advantages  of  attending The  location  of  the  event The  time  of  the  event The  goal  of  the  publicity The publicity media which should be used When  the  publicity  should  be  released When  evaluation  of  the  publicity  should occur After   all   the   information   concerning   each activity has been obtained, it should be recorded in  the  future  file  of  the  CRP  for  release  to  the PAO or for reference purposes by the RP at the appropriate  time. The  Future  File The  future  file  is  a  planning  tool  which  is used to release religious program publicity infor- mation  to  the  public  affairs  office  and  internal media in a timely manner. The  future  file  may  consist  of  a  collection  of file  folders,  each  containing  advance  informa- tion  about  a  particular  upcoming  event.  It  can also  be  as  simple  as  a  calendar  pad  with  suffi- cient  space  in  its  blocks  to  write  “key”  words which  serve  as  reminders.  A  large  grid  under glass or a plastic sheet which can be marked with a  grease  pencil  also  works  well.  Another  varia- tion  of  the  future  file  is  the  “date-box.”  In  this arrangement,   31   file   folders   contain   advance material-one  for  each  day  of  the  month. 6-2
