Weekly AMP Update March 25, 2005 Happy First Week of Spring! The intention of this weekly email update is to keep you informed about what is going on here at AMP…schedules, volunteer opportunities, special events, and the like. If you have information you would like to include in a future update, please send it to me via email at dawn@ampmedia.org . Likewise, if you would prefer not to receive these updates, just send an email to my email address with “remove” in the subject line, and I will take you off. Finally, if you know someone who is not receiving these messages who would like to, please forward that information to me as well!
Now is the time to consider volunteering for the Alliance for Community Media's National Conference to be held in Monterey July 6 – 9, 2005. For every day you volunteer, you get to attend a day of the conference for free! We are soliciting volunteers from around the Country, and are starting to get a good list going, so if you are interested in helping out, now is the time to let us know! Current ACM Volunteer Opportunity : ACM 2005 Events Organizers seeking assistance!!! * Help produce a welcome video for Conference Delegates * Help develop/coordinate opening and closing events If interested, send email to Paulette -- paulettelynch@sbcglobal.net
Become a financial supporter of AMP and receive a ticket to sit in one of the first five, center rows of Amy Goodman's July 9 th lecture in Monterey . Of the 494 seats available, only 100 are in the first five center rows, so sign up before this limited opportunity is gone! When tickets go on sale to the General Public the event is sure to be a sell-out. Take advantage of this pre-sale opportunity to support AMP and secure your up-close seat to hear Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman speak. To be an Individual Supporter is an investment of $100.00 and includes one reserved ticket to Amy Goodman, while a Household Supporter designation is an investment of $175.00 and includes two reserved tickets to Amy Goodman. The front row center seat will go to the first person to sign-up and seats will continue to be assigned on a first come, first served basis…the sooner you take advantage of this opportunity, the better your seat will be! Contact Dawn Pease Bryant at AMP by calling 333-1267 or emailing to dawn@ampmedia.org . Seating priority will be based on receipt of pledge. Payment can be made with cash, check, Visa or MasterCard (a 3% processing fee will apply to credit card transactions). Become a supporter today and secure your reserved seat to see Amy in July!
Keep at the forefront of your mind that checked-out AMP equipment MUST be returned on time. Late returns can have devastating impacts on other producer's scheduled projects. If you commit to returning a piece of equipment and then do not follow through, the next person it has been assigned to is out of luck. Penalties for late equipment returns can include monetary fines as well as suspension of check-out privileges. Don't let this happen to you!
