And then give these personalities you are wishing to attract , the opportunity to attend - make it seem like a privellege..... it might just work. Another tip - I have a cousin in the entertainment business - and whenever she puts on a show, she gives the 30 best sesat in the house to the newspaper arts critics, and then she throws a party after the show - and people almost come to blows trying to get invited..I dont know how or why, but it works! hilary blue Cari Barrett wrote: > > list members: > quick question for you all - > any ideas how to attract "personalities" to a large PD fundraiser (to be held > in Los Angeles) > > as we all know from many of the postings as well as the media, PD is another > of those "closeted" illnesses, so it's not like they're lining up at the door > to participate!!! > > please please let me know if any of you have any information - > this is a very reputable organization in Los Angeles with proceeds funding > grants, making resources available to all those affected by PD, and just > trying to make life better for us all! > > thanks and don't hesitate to ask me any questions! > > Cari Barrett* - daughter of **Jo Ann(CG) & Dempsey Salter, 70/15+, > *Los Angeles **Tyler Texas > [log in to unmask]
