Hey all!
Below is a working list of media outlets in our region. Let me know if I’ve missed any. We’ll continue to develop the list into a master resource with address, emails, contact persons, phone numbers, etc. Let me know what you have that is missing.

2008-07-06 22:05Pastor Mike, I would be willing to put adds in papers if you would like. I just need to know how much money you would like to spend on advertising. Also that press release you sent me telling about the girls I erased. I got it at a time when I was upset and did’t think I would need it. I hope I’m doing this write. This is new to me. Vi

2008-07-08 16:23I just contacted the Blade at religion@the blade.com. I sent them a press release. Everything I have done so far is for free adds. If you want me to by space you need to let me know if so.

2008-07-08 20:40Great job Violet & Dawn! On behalf of the kingdom, the church, and myself, thanks!
What are our thought on paid ads? Do we need them in addition to the press releases? If so, what papers will give us the biggest bang for our buck? Let's figure that out, then we'll compare to our funds :)

2008-07-09 22:40I think eather the Monroe evening news or the Blade. We can put a add in anytime where the small papers don’t come out till the 16th or 19th. But on the other hand these papers will cost more than the smaller pappers. I guess first we need to find out how much money is avalible and how much we want to spend. Flyers would be a good Idea. Dawn would you be able to copy some of those like we had for Samaria Days but we need to make sure the Place, Date, and, Time is on them. If I had those Sunday I would be willing to take them around and hang them up and pass them out. I would print more but it uses to much inc with my printer. I only get a few copys and my inc runs out.
