The
1919-2019.com website is current as of this writing. Our Facebook page will be updated following today’s meeting to include the Riley-related poster and leaflet graphics, which will include specific room assignments.
7. JANE McALEVEY
I spoke with Jane on Saturday and all is well. She has invoiced us for a total fee of $5,000.00 (CDN), but wonders if she might receive payment via direct money transfer as opposed to cheque owing to complications connected to U.S.-Canadian cheque processing issues.
8. PRESS CONFERENCE/EXTRA MEDIA PROMO
I will coordinate a press conference and press day for Tuesday, May 7, 2019. Details to follow. Alongside, I will pitch a couple of preview pieces for next weekend.
Will meet with CKUW for potential PSAs over their radio to air later this week and through till the end of the conference. UMFM is unable to produce PSAs for events not showcased on the U of M Campus.
