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 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
