Also, are we comparing notes with the companies that we have officially partnered with? Some of them may have found some things that work that we haven't thought of yet. Conversely, we may be able to help some of them who aren't doing as well. (I see CHORI continuing to slip, which is unfortunate.) I am not implying that there's a "magic bullet" fix that will make this an easy or a sure thing. I'm practically sure that there is not. However, we should scrape for every advantage we can without doing something that is obviously unethical. Taking our partnerships to the next level by sharing information (assuming that we are not already doing this) seems both ethical and at least somewhat promising. --VH From: media-advisors-bounces@mickaboo.org [mailto:media-advisors-bounces@mickaboo.org] On Behalf Of Vincent J.

asking everybody to reapply
I assume that we are planning to reapply for the next round and considering what we need to put in that re-application so that it will be approved. Regarding the fact that we are 63 now and were 62 on Friday afternoon: we lost a rung last weekend too. Since we have been climbing recently except for on the weekends, we should consider what to do about that. A recruiting drive on Fridays, perhaps? Ask volunteers to distribute flyers while they are running their shopping errands? I suspect that other groups are making specific plans for the weekends and we aren't, which is why we are slipping. Obviously, we just have one weekend left in this round but, as I opined earlier, we should still be learning from the process to make any subsequent rounds work better. --VH
