Where have I been hiding for two days?!?!?! Not hiding, so much, as trying to perfect what strategies to utilise in the coming days. What we do next will determine the likely outcome of the process. I just want to get it RIGHT. So heres what I have put into place. 1. A photo and interview with Busselton Dunsborough Mail, tomorrow morning (with some stall holders in tow, including one travelling all the way from Margs!!!) 2. A carefully worded Application to the CEO, Mike Archer, to be delivered after the photos shoot 3. A request for TWENTY FIVE letters of support from community members (I have received 3) by 8:30 tomorrow morning, to include in the Application to the CEO 4. A campaign to get 100 Likes by 8:30 tomorrow morning 5. A request for a committed FIFTEEN stall holders for the February Co-Op ( I have five) to present to the CEO 6. A Youth Program built into the ethos of the Co-Op which gives - free access to the youth of the SW, to sell their wares at the Co-Op - a sponsorship-styled program with Busselton youth in crisis, to build self worth, enterprise skills and perhaps even a credit in their curriculum 7. I am in contact with local radio to do an on-air interview (jaysus, talk about nerve racking!), next week 8. Work with a local family, that personally supports a number of orphanages in Vietnam, to offer our proceeds of the CO-Op to their endeavours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * - - - The crux of it all is, - - - * - - - I am passionate about the Co-Op, - - - * - - - but I simply cant do this on my own. I HAVE to be able to prove to the CEO, that I should be allowed circumvent the current Market Policy, because I have proven support from the community to do so . . . * At least five stall holders have put in MAJOR efforts to get our Likes up - but unless we have a minor online miracle overnight, we simply are not going to get 1000 Likes by tomorrow morning * I have only received applications for FIVE stall holders for February Co-Op - this is TEN short of what we need to just pay for the hall hire (doesnt cover PLI, advertising, etc) * I have only received three letters of support - I need twenty five to attach to our formal Application letter to the CEO @ 10 tomorrow morning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So peeps, tomorrow morning is the deadline, and we are a long way from making it :( I genuinely appreciate every effort that has been made so far, but in the end - it may not be enough! I have my fingers and toes and eyes crossed!
