If you're wondering what's left to do...

...very little. I have sent off my pitch to Cognition Magazine and recieved a reply that the information I submitted will be kept on record for the future. Not quite what I had hoped for but they are a new publication and might still want to do some tweaking as to what they will and won't cover, hopefully including Impact Movement. I've also created and sent off the Hoop Fit pitch and awaiting results from CTV.

Since the Olypmic torch run has had some problems in its first leg (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/10/29/bc-olympic-flame-island-arrival.html ), I am pushing up the media relations work I am doing with Kristin McKellar. I hoping for her to get some media coverage now to help build some support around the torch run throught Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge.

As promised, here's the link to the published story about Impact Movement in Spoke (http://www2.conestogac.on.ca/conestoga/servlet/Controller?service=edu.conestoga.web.spoke.Spoke&target=/web/spoke/news/view_story_news.jsp&NewsID=1002207&mode=viewSpokeNews ).

Now on to trying to create a festivus for the rest of us with 91.5 the beat, then lots of well deserved rest.

Stay tuned...

If you're wondering why I keep believing

I sent the pitch, I had faith and I just finished sending an email to a journalist for Spoke, the official newspaper of Conestoga College. I was able to answer questions about the benefits of dance as a form of fitness which is part of an article in the October 19th 2009 edition. After this, I will be pitching to Cognition (http://www.cwrns.com/), a new magazine that "where truth meets edge and artistry. Our magazine will examine the region, showcase its business’ and tell the stories that make this region a success." What could be more appropriate than a story about a business that took a chance on a interesting and sometimes questionable idea and turned it into one of the most sucessful businesses in the region? Then a pitch about the hula hoop class, still trying to make a festivus for the rest of us and trying to help one of our instructors/olympic torch bearers make some headlines too...

It's gonna be a busy one, so stay tuned for results!
