MEDIA KIT NOW AVAILABLE ..... What Can You Do Now!

[Guest guest]

Media Kit Available - What To Do Now:

We are very pleased to announce that a formal press release has hit the

newswires. There is now a media kit available (www..net) which includes

five press releases. This is for your distribution and usage. With this

material, we have a chance to dramatically increase the awareness of .

Many are working hard to see that members of the media are exposed to this

information.

Unfortunately, as reflected by the Time magazine cover story just two months

ago, the “autistic” world is still living and is being controlled by groups

started years ago and their thinking is now 30-40 years out of date. Rising

above the “noise of autism”, getting the message out to the media and

creating the right focus for your children is critical. We do not want to

lose another generation of children and we do not have another decade or two

to wait.

There are three immediate areas where we need your help:

1: Send materials to the media

This is a chance for each of you to pursue local recognition and awareness,

which will help to expand our efforts in the national and international

media. While we have released this information to the national media, a

strong personal effort at the local level is vitally important to gain

further attention. Please actively send the press releases to your media

contacts and follow-up with them. If any members of the media express

interest in speaking further they should contact Marc Share or Stoga.

(Marc can be e-mailed at marc@... or contacted directly at

818-951-8579, can be reached at Carson Stoga Communications -

847/884-0000).

2: Fundraising

We urgently need more funds so that efforts to raise the awareness of

can continue. The ultimate goal is to create the possibility as rapidly as

possible for trials of the new immune modulator drugs that our children so

badly need, while creating access to qualified care, medical support

services and the critical rehabilitative developmental services. In the

meantime, the more money we have to raise awareness and communicate with key

decision makers, the faster that will happen. Marc Share will be in touch

shortly with a weekend date to hold a community fundraising effort across

the country – We urge each and every one of you to get involved.

3: Video Screenings

As many of you are aware, there is a three-part video available, which was

filmed during the national videoconference December 1, 2001. It is a very

comprehensive explanation of the hypothesis and offers the necessary

scientific support as well as demonstrating some interesting and compelling

neurospect scans. It also sets out the case for the development of the

immune modulator drugs. A CD-ROM containing the presentation slides and

other material is also part of the package. We also have brochures

available in hard and soft copy form. The brochures and media materials are

currently being translated into Spanish and should be available shortly,

Please e-mail Marc if you need Spanish materials.

We need as many parents as possible to organize days/evenings to show the

videos. This material will be of interest to other parents and medical

professionals. To order the video set, please visit

www..net/tapeorder.htm to order on-line or the download the order form

for check payments. The video & CD set cost $89 plus shipping and handling.

For additional media materials visit www..net/about.htm. If you have

any trouble or need any other assistance, contact the Southern

California Office at 818-951-8579 for assistance. Marc can offer his

thoughts on how to introduce the videos and the mix of people you might

consider inviting but Doug & McCreary and/or Kathy on have just

completed a successful ‘Video Presentation’ and would offer some good

insight and suggestions.

Join in…THE TIME IS NOW!

We need each of you to get involved in one, two or ideally all of the areas

mentioned above. As the scientific peer reviewed papers continue to support

that these children are suffering from a neuro-immune illness, we are now

presented with a wonderful opportunity to give many, many children and their

families a chance at a “normal” life. We thank you in advance for whatever

assistance you are able to offer.

Sincerely,

Goldberg, MD

Hi All,

Doug and McCreary here.

Re: Video Screenings

Here are the steps we followed in setting up our Movie Day

Get 3 or 4 interested people together to help out. Calculate your costs.

Divide that by the minimum number of people you expect and that is your

break even entry fee.

Designate one for booking a location ( such as a school, rec. centre,

hospital conference room, etc.) and taking care of catering ( lunch, snacks,

coffee, etc. ).

The second takes care of the registration process ( receiving registration

forms, providing directions, processing the entry fees, etc.).

Number three is responsible for " marketing " so that people will know we are

out here and there is an event taking place. Get your e-flyer prepared - and

it should be printable so it can also be posted on bulletin boards (I'll

forward the one we used and you can plagiarize it to suit your location) -

and get it distributed to any source of interested parents and

professionals you can think of. We distributed to: our own personal contact

lists; all of the agencies that are service providers in the autism

community: public health centres, doctor's offices, speech paths,

occupational therapists; any and all associations that serve the autism

community and get them to post it to their e-lists. In our case the Autism

Society of Ontario was a big help both from the provincial office and

several local chapters.

Next is follow-up. Make sure all your most interested people are confirmed

and lean on them to solicit other potential attendees.

On the day introduce yourself and the video very briefly and let the

presentation speak for itself.

Good luck.

Doug and McCreary
