Re: [AGA Member] Getting Involved
Hi Bailin,
Sorry for not replying earlier... we've been spending the last 2 days
entertaining Ad Konings for our local aquarium club, and I've been off
e-mail.
What I am most needing on the contest this year is someone to take care of
promotions and contacts. It's just way too much for me to do myself along
with the technical aspects. So some of this would be:
* researching who to contact for PR
local clubs
online forums
magazines?
* soliciting donations
The 2nd year we did this in conjunction with the convention. Maybe it
would be good to do this again, but I don't want to dilute the effort on
the convention.
I should say that ANYTHING is a help, because last year I essentially
didn't promote the contest and we just took about 6 donations from the
convention for the contest. Things worked out OK, but it's definitely
minimal.
I should be more coherent after I get a chance to rest this week! :)
