The Beacon

First, let me start by saying how much I like talking to my contact at the Ministry’s Literacy & Numeracy Secretariat. She’s a huge proponent of what we’re up to and she’s willing to take measures to ensure that I get in touch with people who can actually help us.

So I’ve sent her an email which briefly outlines the project which she’s offered to forward to said people, including her own comments about how much she supports it.

How cool is that?

We also discussed making sure that I receive invitations to anything I’m eligible to attend, be they workshops, symposiums, publisher’s gatherings or what have you.

I’m pretty excited about this, as you may have guessed.

Additionally, I got a call back from a prominent New York media company and the person I spoke with sent me on a new spate of telephone tag with print directors at various marketing firms that they own.

So far, I’ve spoken with a Print Director from New York who doesn’t handle the sponsors we’re looking for, but she gave me the numbers of her associates at different branches who hopefully do. More to follow in the coming days and weeks on that one.

That’s it for now. Things are starting to boil.
