Instructions

Submit project information for inclusion in the Gold Book Online. September 1 is the deadline for projects that will be considered for special recognition and awards to be presented at the League National Conference.

The goal of the Gold Book Online is to create as complete a resource of volunteer projects as possible. Submissions of all completed volunteer projects are encouraged. There is no project too small, too old or too ordinary to be submitted. Your project just might be the next great idea for another group.

It is best to have the project chairman complete the submission form. All of the questions should be reviewed before completing the form. The form should be left open until it has been completed and successfully submitted. Closing it prematurely will cause the information that has been entered to be lost.

Look over the Judging Tips. It is important to provide all the information requested on the submission form so that entries may be judged equally. Awards are given on the basis of the content, goals of the activity, how goals were achieved and overall success of the project.

  1. For best results first review the entire form. Type your answers for the "Project Description" and "Volunteer Involvement" sections into a Microsoft Word document or another word processing program. Then copy these answers into the appropriate text boxes in the form. This will give you an opportunity to think about your answers and use spell-check. If you would like instructions on how to copy and paste your answers, click here. It is also possible to type the answers directly into the submission form. Click "review" at the bottom of the page to review your completed form before submitting.
  2. Once you click "review" you will have one more chance to review your answers before the information is sent. You must click "submit project now" before your entry will be sent to the data base. If you do not see a page that says "thank you for your submission," your project has not yet been received
  3. Leave this form open until it has been completed and successfully submitted. Closing it prematurely will cause the information that has been entered to be lost.

How to Copy and Paste
  1. Highlight text in the word processing document—Place your curser at the beginning of the text and hold down the left mouse button, then drag the mouse to the end of the last word you wish to copy.

  2. Copy text—Once everything you wish to copy is highlighted, press the "Ctrl" key and the "C" key at the same time. Nothing will change on your screen, but the computer will temporarily store your block of text in its memory.

  3. Paste text—Place your curser in the web page field you wish to fill out.  Press the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key at the same time.  This will place the text in the proper field without requiring you to retype it.
