Virtual Sip & Paint 2024 required items.

“Join us for a virtual Sip & Paint to kick off Certifications Month!
Sunday, April 28th @ 3 p.m. EDT.

Below is a link for the customized Paint by Number canvas. Margary Rogers (co-host of this event) can create some Canva images with all the Certs on them and attendees can download the images that will be emailed to everyone who registers and y’all can choose one and upload it to this Amazon link and pay the $15 to have it mailed to you. Or you can create your own Cert image and take the same steps with Amazon.

We’re also including a link for a paint kit. There are a ton online, but this looks like the best bargain.

Also including the registration link for this event. This is our third time co-hosting this event & we hope to see you there!

You don’t have to sip, paint, or even be in our profession to attend. All are welcome. You can come, sip water, draw, crochet, anything. All are welcome!”

I’d like to thank Chris DeGrazio for sharing this information with me. It’s one of my goals to become a post board for people’s events. One day, I hope to have so many events listed that we’re putting out a monthly calendar.

P.S.

The recent controversy regarding a Stenonymous like on a disturbing post: I hit the like button accidentally from my phone because of the way email is presented on the phone. I was unable to correct this from the phone. I was able to correct it on PC the following morning. I do not control the website that published what was published.

NYSCRA Offering RPR WKT Test Prep September 2021

The National Court Reporters Association opened registration for written knowledge tests on September 1, 2021. In an effort to help reporters succeed, the New York State Court Reporters Association is holding several review sessions, each corresponding to a different part of the RPR WKT. On September 12, a technology and innovation review will be held. On September 19, an industry practices review will be held. On September 26, a professionalism and ethics review will be held. Registration links below!

  1. September 12 – Technology and Innovation.
  2. September 19 – Industry Practices
  3. September 26 – Professionalism and Ethics

Alternatively, a registration link has been provided for all three.

I am going to be working on a much larger article about certification and my journey from believing certification was worthless to believing that it is necessary. But this can’t wait. In brief, certification is necessary because it forces us to engage with each other in the form of classes and CEUs. That engagement creates a community. That community helps us keep each other informed and avoid being taken advantage of. If you have any doubts about whether you should sign up for your WKT, just remember that the more you know, the more you can share with your fellow reporter, and the better all of us become. I have a feeling that NYSCRA’s illustrious current President, Joshua Edwards, and its indefatigable incoming President, Dominick Tursi, would agree with me on that one.

You can also sign up for NYSCRA’s voluntary RCR test pioneered by the founder of DALCO reporting, Debra Levinson, CSR-RMR-CRR-CRI-RCR. Read more below and register here!
