<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>FREE publicity is usualy monitarily free, but time cost.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.Get in contact with local paper for a human interest story on the SCA. Make sure contact info is involved.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. Most local cable companies have public access, do a SCA/Baronial 1/2 hour show. They usualy volunteer the equipment, you supply the staff. They then show it on public access.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3.Local PBS channels look for volunteers for the phone watch on their money drives. Have some of the local populace volunteer to man the phones in garb.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4.Morning radio shows that are "Wild and Crazy," are always looking for schtick to do. Offer to "fight" one of them on air. I beleive HRH Logan did something like that last year. (Please correct if I am mistaken.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>5.Not only have practice in public areas, but in strategic areas. Right across the street from a local TV station would be good. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just some Ideas, hope it helps.</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message -----</DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; COLOR: black; FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>From:</B> Achbar ibn Ali</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Sent:</B> Monday, February 04, 2002 11:39 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>To:</B> atlantia@atlantia.sca.org</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [MR] RE: Recruitment Fw: [HF] Frederick Post</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>On Mon, 4 Feb 2002 16:58:38 -0500, you wrote:<BR><BR>>Free publicity is always a good recruitment tool!!<BR>>Livia<BR> This is true.
