Thanks for the suggestions. Here are a few small changes as suggested by
Erik. Cheryl, I'm having a heck of a time opening the list of people who
helped in the past. Could you resend that list again. I'm wondering if I
did something weird the last time I saved the document.
Who is subscribed to this list at this time? Could people chime up so I
can get an idea of who I can contact for help? Zoe, you mentioned that
you'd be willing to help with advertising to variuos forums. Would you
like to help with adding this blurb to a list of forums I haven't had a
chance to get onto? We can split that list from Scott. If anyone else is
on this list, please chime in.
Also, what do we have open for the contest with regards to sponsorship of
prizes on categories. NEAPS would like to sponsor one of the categories.
How much is required for sponsorship?
Look over the revision and if looks good, I'll start getting this out to
the various forums I'm already enlsited with.
Thanks all! Back to bed now.

Hello Aquascapers,
It has been three weeks since the opening of the AGA International
Aquascaping Contest and we have already received several completed
aquascapes for this years contest. At this rate, competition for this
year's cash prizes - including the $150 prize for Best of Show - may be
quite stiff by the September 30th deadline. We looks forward to seeing
more and more incredible aquascapes roll in during the next several
months.
The past success of the contest was defined by the volunteers that helped
with the advertising, the awards and judge procurement, and other duties
that were necessary to make the contest flow smoothly. For the 2007
contest, the AGA is again in dire need of people who can donate a very
small amount of time to help with the things that need to be done for this
year?s contest. Be a part of making this year?s contest as successful as
the past contest.
If you have 10 spare minutes a week, please email us:
bailin_shaw@hotmail.com
I look forward to hearing and working with all of you.
With kind regards,
Bailin Shaw
AGA Contest Chair
Congratulations Bailin!
I'd be a little more upbeat about the early entry phenomenon (which I'm
quite jazzed about), and mention the prizes (always important for some).
One possibility (albeit busy):
"It has only been three weeks since the opening of the AGA International
Aquascaping Contest and we have already received several completed

for Best of Show, maybe quite lively by the September 30th deadline."
PS: Masthead is on the site now.

Hi Karen and All,
It has been a very eventful several days and I apologize again about me
absence. My daughter was born this Tuesday morning at 3:30 and things
are just starting to get back to "normal". I had a document ready to
send out Monday night after putting my son to bed, but my little one had
other ideas. Since I'm not sleeping much now, I have some time to devote
to the contest now.
Karen, I'll email Dennis and ask him to be a judge. He's pretty busy
with school, but he would probably be quite excited about being involved
with this contest.
As for drumming up some additional help, I've put together a short blurb
for everyone to look over before I start posting to the forums listed by
Scott. I'm also going to start soliciting help from the list of people
that was sent to me by Cheryl. So, anyone wanting to help email people
to ask about posting info to the various forums, please let me know on
this list.

increase until September 30th, the date the contest closes.

Look through the blurb from above and add your edits. Then I can start
posting to the other websites.
Thanks everyone! Back to bed to catch a few hours of shuteye. YAWN!!!

Hi Bailin,
I know you asked a few days ago about judges. One person I'd like to
see
judge is Dennis Dietz, if he has the time. I think he has a great eye.
Karen
