Kelley emailed me PDF's for posters and A6 Handouts (and the nappy pimping comp logo!) so I'll start emailing people I'm starting with child/family stuff and working back to budgetting (as I want to draft a cover letter about the costs of cloth vs disposables for them). Carla are you still ok to make some ph calls to get email addies for me?

Kelley used the RNW down under logo rather than the WEN logo... the colours suit the TNN stuff better so I'll go with it for now... Its the same kind of thing wth the letters hanging of a clothesline.

Stacey got the info up on the site too!

Hey, when do you want to get the hard copies of posters printed and distributed? I'm thinking we need to get onto it soon.

Hi Sheryl!
Just hanging out for some money before we do printing... we're really waiting on retailers to fill up enough spaces to at least cover hall hireage costs before I feel comfortable getting printing done... We are walking the very fine line by charging a low fee so that WAHP's can afford.

Sometimes I think Wow this is going great, other days I'm feeling really disapointed that we aren't getting much feedback from retailers etc. Probibly doesn't help that all those Preggy hormones make it worse.

I've tried contacting change the world for $15 but it keeps bouncing back and that had me upset this morning :roll:

I'l email the posters to you anyway so that as soon as we can we can get some done through your photocopy guy.

Last year retailers weren't allowed to get involved with any of the organisation, so I guess we are all not sure how much we can and can't do? I'm always happy to help with anything, so drop me an email if there is anything I can do (and if I'm allowed) :hide:

LOL so far I am the bossiest person on the team and I am happy for any and everyone to help, I am trusting TNN members to act fairly... the only distinction I would make is that on the day you can't represent TNN to the general public.... so volunteers (demonstrators and greeters etc) on the day shouldn't be WAHP's in the nappy biz.

I'll write up my "to do" list and start sending it around

They're those things you hang around your neck at work with your security card on it. People use them as key chains too. Personally I have my security card clipped to the waist band of my pants, I get the lanyard caught in stuff, plus it often obscures my jewelery :wink:

hehe I thought it was this:
Lanyards of various colour combinations and braid patterns are also commonly worn on the shoulders of British and Commonwealth military uniforms to denote the wearer's qualification or regimental affiliation. Many regiments were originally mounted and the lanyard on the left, enabled the rider to pull a whistle from his left tunic pocket and maintain communication with the rest of his troop.

So there you go ... a useless bit of information! and a nice look 8-)

for RNW!

I also now have a sandwich board 8-)

How many retailers have you got now Helen?

by **FluffyMail** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:32 am

I have noticed you don't have Ecobubs on your list. I could possibly have them in stock on the day, but I think maybe you should contact Rochelle - who is in Auckland and a director of Ecobubs.

Rochelle
0800 Ecobubs
order@ecobubs.co.nz

Would be lovely to see them there!

Stlll only five signed up so far. :cry:

I'm doing the chase up thing this week, then will extend invites to related companies like Breastmates.

Thanks for the Ecobubs details Karyn. I just checked my emal list and that's the email I used to contact Ecobubs. I'll give Rebecca a follow-up call . . .
