In reply to: Kelly 's message, "Re: Peoria Memorial Site and Contributions" on 11/12/09 2:49pm

Hi Kelly,

well the last update I have had on the funding told me that there is still quite a way to go. 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.

Well, it's great that Eric is getting your link out to fans, because I think the pictures are really helpful. 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?

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.

Eric just told me that at least Deborah is aware of the webpage. 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.

Several plans have been set in motion to draw more attention to the project. I assume/hope you will hear more about this pretty soon in newsletters and such...
