ITALY Magazine Activity

05/15/2009 - 15:21

Members all around have done (and are continuing) to do some great things with their fundraising activities and ITALY Magazine is eager to hear proposals of how we can help raise the profile of the activities (articles, advertising space, etc)A couple of members have already approached us about this - this space is a means to continue the discussions.Over the long term we will be looking to "adopt" development projects and help them anyway we can (since we are a magazine primarily via exposure) - but obviously the current needs are still about feeding, clothing and fixing homes so that people can move back into them.

:bigsmile: Hooray!!!Quizzes,dinners,cookalongs................Can't wait - and I've PM'd Moxie to get her backside in here!

you can click on create a post under the name of the group on the right - that would create a new post in this group. however, you could also just have the quiz in the public space (i.e. click on create post under public content). we could leave the group for planning initiatives - but things where people participate can be in the open space

Here it is!Ok people where were we?Holiday lets raffle.CalendarThere is one member who offered to do something crazy.Quiz..well done Moxie it's live. one off the list.Marche Chapter, a small group are getting together for a strategy meeting.Other ideas?If you're in here then you are interested already. Ideas folks are what we need.Profile of Tendolpoli needs to raised on the Forum. Many abroad may not see anything in the news.Here in Italy it is scarce now in the main press but it is still a problem and will be for ages.

Following on to the excellent raffles ideas, I think one great idea weekly. I already have two ideas!!! Firstly raffling rock star legend Luciano Ligabue's autograph which I could get next Monday morning when he pops by The Italian Culture Institute in London. I may have to gate crash the party though as they have been inundated with requests by fans, thanks probably to the publicity I gave the event on The Forum a couple of days ago and by so doing I missed ou on the actual booking!!! lol However an early cappuccino in Caffe Fellini and a few minutes in the powder room prior to the start of the event ..... then ..... grab him!!! Sounds cool to me. lol What do you think Guysi???

Simple Sarah. People say contribute £2/3 per ticket. Ronald or one of us does the draw from the ticket holders and I will send the winner the real McCoy - oops McLigabue!!! Try saying that!!! lol In the meantime I'm counting the days!!! He's so lovely!!! lol lol lol

Hi All - links to fundraising pages and updated pages are going up soon.Also we were thinking of a photo competition with a small entry prize (2gbp) - and a nice prize at the end (need to see how much I can get!) plus an article in the magazine.will sort details and get it started soon.also in touch with groups in abruzzo and will be updating here.

I wanted to start a photo competition in the Marche forum in our previous life and have already submitted my entry. It was based on a theme 'why I love Italy' or something like that. Maybe we can get it going now????
