Share your Mother’s Day memories with us

What makes the Jennings Daily News a true community newspaper? Well, we want our newspaper to feature those who live and do business in our communities.
Our goal is to line every Jeff Davis Parish resident’s refrigerator with pictures of loved ones – pictures that were printed right here on the pages of their very own hometown newspaper.
So how does someone go about getting his or her child’s smiling face on one of our pages, and then frame it on the fridge at home? Just send them to us. It’s really that simple.
Now that summer is almost here, kids will be out and about, partaking in the simple pleasures of outdoor activities. Capture those moments with a camera – digital, 35 mm, Polaroid – it doesn’t matter.
Simply snap the shot and then send it to us. Email it in, drop it off, postmark it and put it in your mailbox – that doesn’t matter either.
If the picture is good, we’ll print it.
We’re always looking for front page feature pictures, photos for our lifestyle pages and a special page entitled, “Just for Fun.”
If the picture sent to us shows someone, anyone, having fun, we’ll print it on that page.
Our only advice? Be creative!
Yes, a kid smiling and waving at the camera is cute. A kid swimming in a plastic pool with his or her dog is cuter. And while a family photo is sentimental, a family picnic in the backyard is something everyone can relate to ... and so we’ll print it.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, why not send us a picture of your mother opening her special gift on Sunday? Add to the surprise by sending in her picture to your hometown newspaper.
The moral of this story is simple: We want all of you to share your memories with us. Simply send in your photos by email to jdneditor@bellsouth.net, by mail, P.O. Box 910 or drop them off at our office, located at 238 Market Street in Jennings.
Then, look to future editions of the Jennings Daily News and maybe you will see a smiling, recognizable face on one of our pages.
Now go grab that camera! Your refrigerator doors are waiting!
