Hi Everyone;
With only about 6 weeks or so, to our ?Remembering St. Columban? event (January 27th 2007), now is the time to start really pushing for ticket reservations/sales. To make this event somewhat profitable for our restoration project, we really have to sell about 500 seats to this event.
So far, just some of the actions that we have taken include:-
....Kelley has sent a notification to all the English speaking Catholic parishes (An example at: http://stthomasabecket.org/web/upload/bulletin/061210.pdf )
....I gave a presentation to about 30 members of the Quebec Family History Society
....We had a brochure of the event and a notice included in the recent St. Patrick?s newsletter mailing (Thanks Ned)
....I have been posting our flyer in the local YMCA; Irish bars etc. in my neighbourhood of Point St. Charles
....I have also contacted The Montreal Gazette to include a story about our event (have not had a confirmation from them yet.)
....Jeff has posted a notice on a number of free Event notification Internet locations.
....We have included a notice in the recent Point St. Charles Community Theatre playbill.
But we do need all your help ? to get these tickets sold.
So if you have been holding off in actually sending in your reservations, please do it ASAP, so we can have some idea of the number of tickets that we have sold to our own group.
And please do post our flyer (copies can be printed from our web page -
( http://www.stcolumban-irish.com/events/ ) anywhere that you think it might be of interest.
If you need other information, please contact Kelley or myself.
Thanks
Fergus
