May the Socks be With You... - August 16th @ Colorado Mills 16

Isn't Zac our liason on this? I wouldnt want to step on his toes, or anything.

 

For the RMFF he is, not sure about CSFF.

 

We could usurp his power, if he doesn't want to be associated with the SCFF

 

I pm'ed Kevin and asked if he would help me. I only have access to their public forums, and they are discussing the premiere, but it seemed the bulk of the conversation was taking place in their private forums.

 

LotM said there is no theater they are affiliated with in C.S., so you guys would be on your own. So if we want to drop this idea now, let's do and focus on the Denver branch, they can always share the loot if they want to

ZOO & I will be working on a donation letter and press release tonight so I can run it by U.P. so we can get it to all of you later this week if not early next week.

Then we can email our work, family, or companies of your choice (we can start a list of who is zooming who later).

I don't see a whole bunch of chatter about this yet, but I'm sure you will come up with great ideas at the meeting and I know all of you will make this a HUGE event. We will have them hauling this stuff out by the truck loads, hehehehehehe.

 

I think a Star Wars-related slogan would be better than a CO Mills related slogan, since people will already be at the Mills theater, but we want to strengthen the tie between our event and the movie. Plus movie quote-related slogans have more sticky power than a new slogan affiliated with the theater.

Suggestions:

May the Socks be With You
Donate. There is no try.
I love donations. I know.
I find your lack of donations disturbing.
You don't know the power of donations!

Perhaps including the theater as a significant, but second tier part of the message will make this promotion memorable.

 

I like this: May the Socks be With You

Or "The Socks are strong with the Clone Wars"

 

Oh, jt, so many clever ones. I agree, we don't have to have Mills in the title, it's being held at the Mills & by listing it in the letter/flyer/press should be enough. AND we are not sure the Mills Mall is interested yet, so it may just be the theater.

Thanks for everyone throwing ideas around, this is what make us so great.

Updating header with (temporary?) title... and I e-mailed the mall. I'll call them tomorrow when I'm in a little earlier. See if I can't get a hold of someone. I'll hopefully have everything most of the way set up by the meeting.

Okie dokie! If you would like to post the list of possible donations that Kim found (which is also now in the top of this thread) that would be great! Thanks Bill!

And Zac, I still love you even if you do fall off the face of the planet. Sometimes it's fun to swim in stardust.

 

I do know the 501st have there own charities they work with, not sure if they would want to help with this one or not. But throw it out there & see what happens.
