Thanks to Erik for bringing it up -- and sadly I think I understand how he feels and how he has come to this conclusion. A month ago Charlene asked me to take over going after advertisers and sponsors. Apparently the two folks who had promised to do this crappy job both crapped out -- and I told Charlene I would do the bets I could. She sent me a list from two years ago -- not in electronic form -- so I have had to build my own database to start with. I then sent out the letters she had written and sent me copies of on TAq statuionery, and I dutifully have sent out around 100 letters. I am going to follow up on ones that make sense and concentrate on ones where I have some personal contact. I am hoping that Charlene and Karen and the Houston folks are doing the same. It is very loosely organized, and I sure hope it comes together. What do any of you think we can / should do?
