Awareness & Fundraising Efforts

Effective, low-effort, high-yield, easy & fun do-it-yourself fundraiser idea!

NEWSFLASH!

The economy sucks. Especially in the US. I'm unemployed; my boyfriend is likewise unemployed. (Our roommate is working but helping to support his daughter).

I've been doing some fundraising and awareness raising at some local events, but as yet I've been very frustrated with the results I've gotten. (It makes me...

Need new, updated flyers

feeds@yuku.com (Diana) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:54:42 GMT

I know WM3.org is under some redesign, and they are currently redirecting to wm3.vox.com.

That's great, except I need to see the flyers they had available, so I can print them for an upcoming awareness event.

Does anyone have them saved to their drive that they can email me?

Any more recently done flyers would also be appreciated.

Thanks much (and nons, feel free to ignore this post, as I am ignoring you).

New awareness business cards with recent info available

feeds@yuku.com (ladydiana) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:13:56 GMT

I have created a new WM3 awareness business card (with a great deal of help from others!)

It includes bullet points about current developments in the case.

They are standard sized business cards. There is a LOT of information on them and I was sincerely concerned about the type being too small to read, so I ordered a set to proof them. I was absolutely delighted with them.

They are listed on a site called "Zazzle" (which seems a lot like Cafe Press)....

DFW area?

Is there any interest in getting a benefit/fundraiser together in the Dallas/Fort Worth greater metropolitan area?

I'm currently working 60+ hours a week and going to school and study group on top of that; I can't even organise my laundry. But the nature of my job has me on the phone a lot, and sometimes the people I'm talking to talk about bands they or people they know are in.

Merry Meet everyone!

This is my first time posting here; although I've been an avid reader/follower of the site and the case for a long time.

I recently started my own group for the WM3 on Cafemom and one of my members is looking for some information.

Can you all please read her request and offer some feedback?!

Thanks in advance!

WM3 Business Cards

feeds@yuku.com (Scout) — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:10:42 GMT
If anyone is interested I have created a Free The West Memphis Three business card and will be happy to share it if you would like some printed. I have inluded the e-mail address for the North Alabama Support Group but could remove that and include your local support group's e-mail address. I wouldn't have time to re-design the card but certainly could change an address.

I can forward a copy to you if you e-mail me at

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

December 28, 2007: Dallas, TX - March 7th, 8th, and 9th.

feeds@yuku.com (LanaRG) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:07:49 GMT
I am posting this here but if it is wrong, please move it and I will post in the right place.

Janice Broach just aired live from the rally in Little Rock. Not much to report so far. Singer for the Dixie Chicks isn't there yet but expected soon. I will update if anything else comes on Memphis news. If not, she said they will have extensive coverage on their 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. news cast. that is central time.
