Rio movie tickets
by Lee, Pamela A 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

As to the question of whether we can raffle the tickets given to us... yes, we could. That said, I'm unclear about the prior dialogue where the folks offering the tickets were proposing something. It would probably make sense, Patty, for whoever that was (the name escapes me) and moi to chat directly at some point, when you feel stuff is solid enough so you can do a warm handoff. - Pam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.

I like the: 1 - guaranteed seating option 2 - offer to hand out materials. Even better if the theater could let us have a table in the lobby.

Here's the note from Christine-- let me know your thoughts. I'd like to get back to her sooner than later. p Begin forwarded message: > From: Christine Slaton > Date: February 9, 2011 11:21:05 AM PST > To: "pblau(a)sonic.net" <pblau(a)sonic.net> > Subject: RIO - Mickaboo > > Hi Patty, > > It was nice to speak with you yesterday! We would love tie-in Mickaboo with our new film RIO. I’ve included some of the ideas we talked about, but I am open to ideas, so please let me know what might work best for you and your members. > > As I mentioned earlier, we will be hosting an advance screening in San Francisco prior to the film’s opening in theaters. The film opens on Friday, April 15 and our screening will most likely be on Thursday, April 14. If you’re interested, we could coordinate an enter-to-win where people could win a ticket to our advance screening. An idea would be to include the contest, film synopsis, etc. in one of your upcoming newsletters and encourage members/staff/volunteers to enter for the chance to see the film for free at our upcoming screening. Below are some options: > > - 10 lucky winners (each with one guest) will receive guaranteed seating at our screening. > - Or we could award 20 winners (each with one guest) priority seating at the screening. They would need to arrive 45 minutes before the start time to ensure seating – otherwise, seating is first-come, first-served with the general public. > > We can also send along mini posters that you can distribute at Mickaboo events. Additionally, you are welcome to hand out Mickaboo fliers and/or pamphlets at our screening as people are leaving. > > I am open to ideas, so please let me know what will work best for you. > > Best, > Christine > > > > RIO > 3-D Digital Animation – Comedy > Release: April 15, 2011 > Voice cast: Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Tracy Morgan, George Lopez, will.i.am, Rodrigo Santoro, Jane Lynch, and Jamie Foxx > > From the makers of the hit ICE AGE series come RIO, a comedy adventure about taking a walk on the wild side. Blu is a domesticated Macaw who never learned to fly, living a comfortable life with his owner and best friend Linda in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. Blu and Linda think he’s the last of his kind, but when they learn about another Macaw who lives in Rio de Janeiro, they head to the faraway and exotic land to find Jewel, Blu’s female counterpart. Not long after they arrive, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers. With the help of street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes. Now, with his new friends by his side, Blu will have to find the courage to learn to fly, thwart the kidnappers who are hot on their trail, and return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had. > > TRAILER: > http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/rio/ > > > > Christine Slaton | Allied Integrated Marketing | 90 New Montgomery Street, Suite 610 | San Francisco, CA 94105 | 415.692.4682 | www.alliedim.com | www.buzzbo.com |www.facebook.com/buzzboSF | www.twitter.com/buzzboSF > > >

News about Rio
by Patricia Blau 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Christine from Fox called & says she's working locally on the release of Rio. The theaters who will be carrying the film are still not determined (it's early), but she's interested in how we would like to work with her -- miracle of miracles. She says that, as a promotion, the studio has a couple of ways to help us, and we can spread the word that the film is coming out. She will send us a precis of the story, so we know what it is about (generally), and she's fine about us handing out a few materials about our rescue at locations the movie will be shown (after the film). She visited our site & sees that we have a newsletter. She's hoping we will get the word out on that (pre-release, which means late March, maybe, or very early April)-- I don't know the schedule of the newsletters-- is it due out around then, and/or can we arrange to make it come out around then?? -- And of course we can post on Discuss & any forums we might feel ok about. Details are still to follow, but it sounds pretty good. I'm pleased they are interested. p

more financials
by Lee, Pamela A 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I'm starting to get alternating chills and hot flashes - not a good thing, I'm sure, so I thought I'd get this out while I'm conscious (yes, being a drama queen for a bit...) I have attached the same information in MS Excel and PDF formats. The yellow highlighted percentages speak to our biggest revenue and expense items (contributions and vet bills, respectively). In short... contributions went up by 21%, and vet bills went up by 41%. I'm going to tuck myself into bed now.

more financials needed
by Lee, Pamela A 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I had not provided the revenue side earlier - had not been planning on providing full financials since these are unofficial (Mickaboo uses a fiscal year, not a calendar year, for tax reporting). The numbers I provide will be directionally correct, and therefore exact numbers should not be used. I'm feeling poorly today (day 2 of nasty cough)... that said, as I have another week of business travel staring at me starting tomorrow, will attempt to get to it today. - Pam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.

for press release
by Patricia Blau 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Thanks to Vinnie reminding me (I don't know where my brain has disappeared to), I'm conceptualizing the press release. We have the stats for how much expenses have risen, but I don't see the respective stats for how much donations have dropped. (in % only, not actual dollar amounts) Can someone find or figure out that number? Also- 357 birds surrendered this year is not exceptionally high, making it a non-starter as a press release issue. (I think we had 450 surrendered a few years ago.) (Does the 357 include doves & pigeons?) We can point to the worse condition of birds we do get & maybe-- not conclusively-- attach it to the increase in vet expenses-- but who knows, that could also be attributed to an increase in vet charges per treatment (inflation). An exception might be that more wild-flock members hit us this year, and their med bills are always higher (neurological issues). I'd appreciate any statistics that could help here. p
