Creative Memories Invites ‘Album of Hope’ Submissions by July 1

May 28, 2010 - PRLog -- ST. CLOUD, MINN. – May 27, 2010 – For more than 20 years, Creative Memories has inspired people to celebrate their lives and preserve memories. Today, just in time for Memorial Day, the company is reminding everyone that they can publically honor those who have enriched and inspired them by participating in the “Album of Hope.”

“During the last year, we’ve asked people everywhere to tell us their inspiring stories of hope in words and pictures, and we want to hear from you,” said Loren Castronovo, Vice President of Global Product Development. “We know that hope is the mere possibility that something may happen, so we’re asking everyone, ‘What are you hopeful for?’”

Castronovo said that thousands of people from across the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and Germany - have already contributed pages honoring parents, spouses, children, neighbors, co-workers, caregivers and volunteers.

All submissions are being placed in the official Album of Hope, a huge photo album that will measure six-feet across when open. The album will be available for public viewing later this year at the Creative Memories Home Office in St. Cloud, MN. It can also be reserved to travel to events sponsored by Creative Memories.

Sample submissions can be viewed by clicking the Album of Hope link at www.creativememories.com.

Persons wishing to share their story in the Album of Hope should email a photo no larger than 3MB and a story of 100 words or less to albumofhope@creativememories.com. Entries can also be mailed to Creative Memories, Attn: Album of Hope, 3001 Clearwater Road, St. Cloud, MN 56301. The submission deadline is July 1, 2010. Submissions received after July 1 will be added to any future Albums of Hope.
