Hello-
I'm worried and wondering about our too-slow progress in the Pepsi grant
contest and wanted to share these thoughts/questions with y'all. In no
particular order-
-I'm worried that many/most people think that if they're voting, that's all
they need to do when *it really requires that we each recruit lots of daily
voters*. ???
-I'm wondering if there are some other networks that our folks have that
could be engaged in supporting us- i.e. neighborhood groups, school groups,
workplace groups...? People don't have to know/support Mickaboo & ' Coo.
They will vote to support us- the people that ask for that support.
-I'm worried that MY (the pigeon lady) pushing so hard for this could be
misunderstood as it is a MickaCOO thing. MickaCoo would only take a small
fraction of the grant and, with our much lower bills, we're much less in
need of it. I'm pushing it because it is the easiest, quickest way to get
$50K for Mickaboo that I've come across to date and it seems like Boo really
needs it (and 'Coo really needs and supports 'Boo). Others have spoken up in
support of it but no one (rightly or wrongly) as much as me. I'll gladly
sit down and shut up if others will take up the charge. ????
-I'm wondering if there is a tactful way/time to ask a block of competitors
that are waaay back there to reconsolidate their support behind us?
-We've got 11 days to move up 56 notches in the ranking. Bless our hearts
that as small and new-to-this as we are, we're doing as well as we are but,
if we don't do some things differently right now, we've lost our
halfway-decent chance to win $50K.
-Only 39 folks have signed up for the daily reminders. Out of 1000+ that
received it. If Mickaboo really wants support for this effort, we need to
ask/inspire/generate it in ways that are more effective.
Here's some language I'm using to try and get help via email (actually phone
& personal requests get better results but this is good email follow up
info)
