Dry run. Yup, not a single soul showed up. Will, that's a lie, three 28 Below Board Members and two volunteers where there. The room was awesome, and we had some great goodie bags to give out as a "Thanks so much for coming!", our hour was planned out to a 'T'.....and even some totally groovy artwork. But alas, nobody showed up to be supported. But it wasn't a total waste of time. 28 Below held a meeting to discuss the next meeting, and then we continued to IHOP to drown our sadness in pancakes....LOL. But it's all good. We knew that there was a chance that nobody would show up. And we think we know where we went wrong.
For November, the word is Publicity! In every way we can think of! Newspaper, internet, radio stations, and every other way. We are already planning and writing our press release. In November I just KNOW we'll have people show up. Even if it's JUST one person. We know that there are peopler in the area that need the support, we just did a bad job getting the word out.
Anyhow, that's all about our first support meeting....a not quite total bust.
Thanks for reading,
Maya
