Mike, We need our publicity group to start making contacts with the newspapers. I know the Post has a section for outdoor events in the Thursday "Get Out" and also in the Friday sports section. We need to get this event publicized now, not the week before the event. I wonder if Barb could get us a mention on the MO parks page? I was supposed to meet with her Thur and got cancelled because of the snow. I need to call her tomorrow about the MPRA expo and I'll see what she thinks about a blurb on the parks page. Who is doing our articles? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Griffin To: mga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 7:54 PM Subject: [MoGeo] MIGC We need to start talking up the event ion March in our local groups and let them know how much fun it will be. We have hardly any registrations from within Missouri. We need to get more people signed up from locally. All our registrations seem to come from up north and out east. We have plenty from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan.. You see my point? Where's the home teams? Please contact you local groups and talk it up. Mike
