Re: Audio/Video Committee

Here is my proposed press release folks. I don't mind being a contact person/public face for this event but I think it looks more professional if there are two contact names on the press release.  Anyone into being a public face? What are people's thoughts on the way this press release is structured?  I personally feel as though this could be sent out to both mainstream and alt presses...maybe we don't need two separate ones...I dunno what do folks think? Either way, I think they should go out by early next week (ie: monday, tuesday) xoxo K --- On Thu, 5/6/10, InIn Ninja <inin....@gmail.com> wrote: From: InIn Ninja <inin....@gmail.com> Subject: Audio/Video Committee To: "Vancouver Trans Forum" <vancouver-...@googlegroups.com> Received: Thursday, May 6, 2010, 4:04 AM Audio/Video: 1.

Kate, you don't live in Montreal anymore, so that last area code in the document has to go.

[Kate Lamothe]

haha for sure need to change that. Also, including the location of the forum may be helpful But what do you think about the overall structure/format/phrasing? xoxo K --- On Thu, 5/13/10, kat kent <kat...@hotmail.com> wrote:

Looks great Kate! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
 
The first sentence, "The Greater Trans Forum organizing collective"
Can we add 'Vancouver' after 'Greater'? Although I do think we have a pretty great collective ;)
 
"Saturday, July 24^th – panels, workshops, and facilitated discussions geared more towards individual trans/genderqueer community members."
I wonder if we can add two-spirit? If not there then maybe somewhere else in the press release?

 

"True to the spirit of deeping community bonds, the forum will end with a Trans Pride March, similar in spirit to Vancouver’’s Dyke March."

There's a double apostrophe in Vancouver's

 

Awesome work!!

I think I'm going to hold off on sending out the press release until we have a basic website up and running...that way, I  can include the address too!   Cool with ya'll?   xoxo K
