Roswell 10/2/00

Just sending this over

The WB will close their network on Sunday, September 17 with a five-hour block of pilot episodes of their past signature series, including Felicity, Angel, Buffy (which was a two-hour episode) and Dawson's Creek, and during commercial breaks, re-airings of past image campaigns and network promotions. This plan will involve promo spots given to the cable networks currently carrying these shows in off-network syndication, along with ads for each series' TV-on-DVD box set [2].

So let's celebrate the network who gave us Roswell and many other wonderful shows!

Sounds great...but am I not seeing "Roswell" among the pilots they will air? What's up with that! The Roswell pilot is one of the best ever made.

But thanks for the head's up. I'm sure it will be a great,nostalgic night of viewing.

Berengaria

Do you think there will be any guest announcements soon?

jero

Maybe next week... Probably next month...

Later,

Berengaria

Thanks,don't mind me bugging you...just getting all hopped up with excitement already. I sent some cool things from my Roswell collection on in to the auctioneers. Hope the Ros crew turns out.

jero

Thanks Ber! I don't have anything to contribute this year. :-(

Berengaria

You contribute your time and that is much more important to this terrific cause...I'm just glad to do a small thing to help. (Not going to ruin the surprize...but I hope there are some Brendan Fehr fans there) .

jero

Yep! There will definitely be Brendan fans there... At least one team of them is already signed up.

Berengaria

Good,I think they will have a chance to bid on 2 unique things relating to him. It would be beyond awesome if he was there to sign them!

Hello Everyone!

Less than 2 months until the bowl-a-thon on October 28th! If you haven't registered yet, you can do so on the website Zeke Lerner Celebrity Bowl-a-thon .

There's lots of news in this email, so pay close attention. Might as well get the less than great news out of the way first.

To all --

It is with much regret that we are announcing the cancellation of the Sunday Brunch.

The idea was incredible and promised to make an already fun weekend even that much more special, but we did not realize the magnitude of planning such an event would be so massive.

The organizers of the bowl-a-thon and all of the volunteers do such a wonderful job, but they are already stretched thin and put in so much time to make that event a success. It became clear that planning a second event for the very next day would be far too demanding on their time, it would be nearly impossible to gather an second (and very large) group of actors who could give so much of their time, and we would be scrambling to gather enough items to have an auction (so the fundraising aspect of the event would be rendered nearly moot).

I look eagerly forward to the 4th Annual Bowl-a-Thon, and I know the weekend will still be incredible. Thank you all for your understanding and your continued support.

Okay, that's a bummer. Now on to the good stuff!

Pick Your Celebrity Lottery

For each $250 raised above the participant fees a team will get 1 electronic lottery ticket to fill out with their top 3 choices of the remaining celebrities they would like to bowl with. They can fill out all of their e-tickets with the same celebrities if they want to...


Each team will need to designate one person to receive, fill out, and return the e-ticket. Lottery e-tickets will be sent after the winners of the Pick Your Celebrity Contest are determined and have picked their celebrities (around Oct. 21st). Those celebrities will be removed from the lottery and will not be on the lottery e-tickets. Two winning teams per celebrity will be drawn (one for each bowling period).

$250 is easy to raise... If your team has 5 members... Each member only needs to get 5 people to donate $10... Or 10 people to donate $5... No matter how your team comes up with $250 above their participant fees, you'll get a ticket for the Pick Your Celebrity Lottery!

~~~~~

This year we will once again be using a tent next to the bowling alley for several activities; check-in, Celebrity Q. & A., and auction.

~~~~~

Team photos with the celebrities will be taken by professional photographer Christina Radish. 5x7 prints will be developed during the bowl-a-thon and given to you before the end of the event.

Some FAQ:

Does my team have to sign up together?
No

I don't have any teammates. Can I still sign up?
Yes. We will assign you to a team if you still don't have one about a week before the event.

How many are on a team?
Minimum of 3... Maximum of 5... Plus 1 celebrity...
We sometimes add people to teams with less than 5, but not always.

When will we know which celebrities are attending this year?

Almost as soon as we know! LOL We realize that a lot of you are waiting for this before signing up. Please remember that some celebrities wait to confirm until closer to the event so that they know their schedules. When celebrity confirmations are received we will be announcing them as soon as humanly possible!

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Fundraising Information:

This year you have 2 ways to raise money for FSMA... In person with a pledge sheet or online through Firstgiving.com.
Please note: We can only accept pledges that are flat amounts (no per pin pledges to be collected later) and received by midnight (PT) on Wednesday, October 11th, 2006, either on your Firstgiving fundraising page or via mail with your pledge sheet. (Deadline only applies to money counted in the contests.) Any participant sponsors wishing to pledge using a credit card can do so on your Firstgiving page or on our website's sponsorship page.

A blank pledge sheet and information for potential sponsors will be emailed to all registered participants and anyone who requests them.

We highly recommend participants also create a fundraising webpage this year. We have teamed up with Firstgiving to provide you with this highly successful fundraising option. Go to Zeke Lerner Celebrity Bowl-A-Thon for FSMA - Start page and click on "Get Started".

Once you register with Firstgiving, you can create a personal fundraising page. You basically just fill in the blanks and can even add a picture. After your page is created, the site will generate an e-mail (you can edit it), detailing your fundraising efforts, that you can send to as many people as you like. There is a link in it that takes people directly to your fundraising page where they can sponsor you online.

All of the money raised via this method will go directly to FSMA and count in our contests. Your page will keep a running total for you and you can also add funds you have raised offline to the total. The site will keep track of team totals if you sign up with a team name. A thank you e-mail will automatically be sent to each of your sponsors.

FSMA used this site last year for their national Walk-n-Roll events and are using it again this year. It was a big success for them. The site owners have found that people tend to donate more via this method. As participants you can reach a wider number of potential sponsors and it is easy for them to sponsor you in just a few minutes on their own time. We are hoping that this helps us all raise more money for FSMA.

Thank you for supporting this event. We're looking forward to seeing you in October at the bowl-a-thon!

If you have any questions about the event, please contact me at roswelljero@gmail.com or post your question here.

Later,
