Subject: Re: Peoria Memorial Site and Contributions Author: Kelly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11/12/09 2:49pm In reply to: Theo Solberg 's message, "Re: Peoria Memorial Contributions/Theo" on 11/12/09 1:17am Theo, thanks for sharing the photos with us. It's nice to see the actual area for the memorial. And since you've been in contact with the Peoria group, I was wondering if you know how well they are doing with funding? Are they getting close to their goal, or is there still a long way to go? It would be nice to hear something about it once in a while. I was thinking that maybe if they created a blog site for the project, with updates every so often, it might encourage more people to donate.

But that was some weeks ago and the situation might have changed by now. Eric Mills is doing quite an extensive mailing campaign on Facebook and this has surely increased the number of visitors to my webpage. To which degree this also has had affect on the funding, I don't know yet. Hugh gets an update on the balance of the funding once a month. As far as I know he's not considering a blog at the moment. I have also suggested we might add a RSS feed with news (might there be any) to my page, but we haven't decided on that yet. Theo. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Gives folks a chance to see what they're donating to. Occasional updates couldn't hurt either. Fans who have already donated might be willing to donate more if they knew the status of the funding. I'm surprised the Living Legacy hasn't posted the link on their site, or at least in the newsletter. It would reach a lot more fans that way. Maybe they aren't aware of your site?

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Peoria Memorial Site and Contributions Author: Theo Solberg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11/16/09 2:28pm I do not know if they are aware of the site. I only know the part in the newsletter of September where it said "monies have come in from as far as The Netherlands" was referring to me. As to whether Hugh has told them about the site, I don't know, I haven't asked. And I haven't told them. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

He has discussed his Facebook mailing campaign with her and told her that it is linked to my page. The Living Legacy site also still has an item on the memorial posted, so both our sites are doing their bit and there's no real need for a link I think. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
