For Constitutionally Oriented Organizations & Candidates:

Posted by deant, Thu Nov 29 02:21:00 UTC 2007

How Your Organization or Candidate Can Get Its Message Out to an Interested and Influential Audience at the 2007 Bill of Rights Day Celebration.

This is the first time that we have offered these kinds of opportunities, which we believe will help to promote the Constitution restoration message throughout the South Florida area and beyond. We want to give exposure to the name, message and mission of each group during the course of this event. Following are the revised, more inclusive rules providing publicity for your organization:

Benefits will accrue to organizations and candidates that bring out six or more paid attendees to the luncheon, as follows:

A. Speaking Order:

The first 5 organizations/candidates to fill tables of 10 will be able to speak in the program period immediately prior to the meal. However, if less than 5 organizations reach 10, the remaining spots will be filled by those organizations that first fill 8 seats and then by those that first fill 6 seats. We are working on the premise that the speaking spots closest to the start of the meal will be best. In light of that, the order within the five that get to speak (about how their organization or candidacy will help to restore constitutional government) will be determined first by the initial 10, 8, 6 rankings and then by the number of additional paid attendees who self-identify or whom can otherwise reasonably identify with a particular organization or candidate.

Beyond the top five organizations, speaking opportunities will be provided following the drawings for prizes. Attendees will be encouraged to stay and listen to those additional interesting speakers and to engage in networking and exchange of information.

The cutoff date for purposes of the total count will be December 8 for mail-in ticket purchases and December 10th for on-line ticket purchases. The speaking time will be between three and five minutes and will effected by considerations such as how many speakers need to be accommodated and the necessities for pacing the event.

B. Banner Placement:

Banner placement will be based on a ranking of the total number of paid attendees identified with each organization. The ranking will determine how close to the podium, along the wall behind the podium, each banner will be located. The minimum number of paid attendees to qualify for a banner is 6. The counting for this purpose will continue through December 8 for mail-in ticket purchases and December 10 for on-line ticket purchases. In the unlikely event that insufficient locations are available for banners from all groups that otherwise qualify, the lowest ranking organizations in terms of the number of tickets will be unable to display a banner. We will communicate with you should such a dilemma arise.

C. Listing your organization as an event sponsor:

Organizations with 6 or more attendees will be listed in the program as event sponsors. The order of listing in the program and the amount of contact information included will be based the date upon which you reached the threshold numbers of 6, 8, or 10 luncheon participants and on the number of attendees associated with your organization. Because we need lead time to produce the the printed program, the cutoff date for the data to be used for these determinations will be December 7, or earlier if necessary.

We believe the above sets a reasonable and understandable set of ground rules. The Bill of Rights Day Committee reserves the right to make final decisions in all matters and to make adjustments and improvements as circumstance either require or permit.

Please contact me with any questions at 561-687-8002 or by email at cfceig-billofrightsday07@yahoo.com. Also, please check our Celebration website, www.BillOfRightsDay.org, for the most up-to-date information.

We look forward to being with you and your members/supporters on December 15.

Sincerely yours,

Dean Taffel
