   Hey there everyone!
   i contacted Heather Odom who is in charge with the enquiries in to organising lectures for Jacque and Roxanne in different countries.
   We are now in talks of organising the lectures in australia.
   She has told me that Jacque and Roxanne will be in Newzealand in april and will naturally make it convenient to come afterwards here!

   we need to work out how we are going to do this... where to have lectures? and how to promote them to the public
   I'm still in correspondance with SBS tryingto get Addendum on national tv...if all goes well maybe even Jaque's "FUTURE BY DESIGN" all these things will promote the lectures and cause curiosity ...but we need ideas!
   what do you think?????
   So think of stuff and bring it to the continental meeting tonight.
   And by the way..i have been unable to attend the meetings on friday for some time- although i have intended to. my location from redfern makes it quite difficult to get there but i have worked something out and now i will be able to start showing up to these meetings. i would really like to meet you all.

   OK so i just got a reply from the venus project in regards to the tour.

   i then got this response:
   

   [quote]Dear Thomas,

   All of this is really fantastic, I have attached a pdf file which I hope will be useful to you. I will forwarded your email to Jacque and Roxanne and I am sure they will be thrilled at your response.
   I believe Jacque can't wait to start this tour.

   We have been asking most countries to try and pay at least 8000 euros which should cover the cost of full board accommodation in Hotels and Business class flights and of course The Lecture fee. Depending how long they stay in Australia and how many Lectures they give this may vary. Unfortunately The Venus Project in Florida is very expensive to run in this monetary system, so giving these lectures is their way of keeping The Venus Project going, especially now as Roxanne's work has dried up due to the crash.

   Please arrange anything you can to promote The Venus Project. Jacque and Roxanne are very keen to give interviews, tv programs, radio shows.

   Jacque and Roxanne did a live radio program just for the Zeitgeist Members in the UK for example. We organized a Lecture in London and it was a sell out 720 places at $25 US a ticket. See if you can do better than us here in the UK!
   They also did the live TV show on edge media which you can watch on the Venus Project Website.

   Please do not hesitate to contact me for any help you need, but it sounds as though you have thought this out already. We are in the process of designing a poster and a flyer for the World Tour which hopefully should be ready for people to download soon.

   Thanks again Thomas, lets keep in touch, April will be here much quicker than we think.

   Warmest regards,
   Heather Odom
   Events Coordinator for The Venus Project

   we can organise to sell tickets for lectures at around 30-35 bucks each...maybe more...this would help us with payment
   if we arranged for tickets to be sold for 35 bucks each and sell roughly 250 tickets ...its about 8,750 bucks

   i dont know..this is going to be tricky :S :S

   good work tom. thanks for taking the initiative to kick this off. i (and i think other) would be prepared to pay more than $35.00 for a ticket. up to $100 wouldn't bother me but i think $50 would still be widely accepted. anyone else have any ideas for fund raising?

   ok. Ive been Discussing the plans for the tour in Australia.We need everyone from all chapters to get involved and spread the word.
   I think its definitely possible that the tour can go across 3 or four states if we get this organized. THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS CAN DO FOR US!!
   The crunch is the fact that each lecture is going to cost 3,500.00 EUR=5,664.02 AUD which is a lot of money and they know that. But this covers all there accommodation, travel expenses food, and the lecture itself. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME.
   i Cant organize this on my own- i know everyone is working towards goal, so lets try and speed up our efforts and get The Venus Project over here to show all the other aussies and cause some massive attention upon us.
   I have begun setting up a ticket system on the site http://www.eventbrite.com/splash which was used in the UK And they sold over 700 tickets for one lecture alone.
   the people in charge of Earth2.0 are creating an advertisement clip in south africa which we are going to use and post on many websites and places around..maybe even tv..

   Please people..this is so important.
   If anyone has any ideas,help,suggestions,criticism anything....just say it ,offer it..
   No one seems to be really interested in the idea?? its a bit confusing to me- if you are interested LET US KNOW
   it wont happen by yourself.
   "if you do nothing, then nothing will happen"

   Peace

   ok soo i take it no one is really interested in this idea?
   theres always people on the forum but there doesnt seem to be much contribution.
   guys this isnt going to happen by itself.
   its a combined effort.
   I cant organise this tour alone.
   i neeed your help
   we can do it together.
   if all goes well not only will we have an organisation willing to fund the tour but SBS will screen Addendum at some point before the venus project arrives in Australia next year.

   So the things we need organise are:
   - VENUES FOR LECTURES ( so far i can only organise sydney but if others from other states want to jump on board and have Jacque and Roxanne speak in there state please let me know and contribute !
   - TICKETS AND PRICING ETC: We need to organise whether we can get the tour funded by a sponsor or if the tour will be funded solely on the money from tickets- either way pricing of the tickets also needs to be decided.
   - ADVERTISEMENTS AND SPREADING THE WORD!: We need to make this HUGE so everyone knows about it , not just members of the Venus Project and the zeitgeist Movement. I'm currently in correspondence with the film crew of 'earth2.0' who in fact are creating an advertisement clip for a campaign to raise awareness of the tour! this will be one of the methods used. This is being filmed as we speak in South Africa.
   We need to spread the word on forums all across the net.
   Tell your colleagues, your mates, your families, people on the street , everyone. Call a radio station and tell them the details (go to the website and listen for updates") do anything you can to spread the word.
   -PRESS RELEASES: Press releases are a great way of spreading the news to the public through media.If anyone knows of a PR firm or someone in connection with a firm or perhaps you think you can organise press releases to be sent to newspapers and Media networks Please contact me Or put your contributions here!

   THIS IS A COMBINED EFFORT PEOPLE! Lets make this huge.

   PM ME FOR ANYTHING ELSE OR POST IT HERE!

    I am on the midnorth coast of NSW, but depending on dates would be happy to go to either Brisbane or Sydney for a Lecture. Cost is a little surprising, almost hypocritical in my view.
