Only [[Ben]] and [[Brandon]] made it to this one.
== Agenda ==
* Review WWWs
* Triads
* Disney/music for the video
* Earth Day Redux
* Book club etc
* Personal Outreach
== WWWs from last time ==
Were all related to putting together the Earth Day booth
== Music for the video ==
* We have two Disney contacts who have to go through separate clearance processes
* If we can't get clearance?
** Commission and/or write our own song?
*** [[SolSeedThemeSong]]
*** Maybe contact the band [http://www.myspace.com/themicsarefunky Sol Seed]?
*** Have a choral part and ask iSing to perform it?
** Find something else that fits
== Earth Day followup ==
* Brandon sent personalized welcome messages to everyone who signed up at Earth Day (14 total)
** Tried to talk about something we knew they were interested in
** 3 replies so far
*** 2 people from Windward, Walt and Andrew
*** Matthew - into composting http://www.cloacina.org/
* We could invite the most enthusiastic people to the business calls
* Brandon will see about inviting some people in Portland to have lunch or breakfast 1-on-1
== Book club and finding Octavia Butler fans ==
* Web-based?
** http://groups.yahoo.com/group/octavia-butler-earthseed/
** Facebook (can you email directly to it like a newsgroup?)
** Get the http://earthseed.org domain?
* Existing ''Parables'' book clubs have not worked all that well
* We could post digests from regularly-scheduled calls to a group, and respond to posted messages during the calls
== Personal Outreach ==
* Start with thinking of one person each to send email to
* Email format
** Personalize and establish relatedness by showing understanding of their interests
** Introduce who we are, ask whether they have any advice for us, or know someone else we should contact
** Thank them for taking the time to read our email and for any help they might give us
