Subject: Halifax (VT) EMS Short Story Contest
I am striving to get solid publicity on our short story contest, a fund raiser. I’ve attached a press release.
In short, the first place story will get a minimum of a $1,000 prize. I can think of no better audience (and no better winner) than members of a student based EMS team.
Chris Bohjalian has agreed to judge stories with us. Chris is the author of Midwives and other novels.
As a humble rookie chief, I am doing what I can to “let loose the ballyhoo boys”. The success of this endeavor depends on great publicity. Given we are going to split-the-pot between the squad and the winners, the more stories we get the more prize money there will be (and the larger the donation to our squad will be).
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Our
website may offer a few answers, otherwise contact me directly (www.HalifaxEMS.org)
How can we get information about this contest to your
constituents?
Very Respectfully Submitted,
Christina Moore
