2010 Traditions in Western Herbalism

One of the heroines of modern herbalism is sending out a call for help. If you cannot afford to attend the conference, this might be a way to make it there. Keep in mind, because you are working, you may miss some of the lectures...but still, this is an amazing opportunity!

This is from Kiva's website:

Call For Help with Conference Sponsor/Vendor Outreach

Free registration, acknowledgment & unending thanks offered to volunteers
doing outreach to potential event sponsors, vendors & practitioners and any amount of help welcomed from anyone who is willing to send a sponsor or vendor invite and application to any business or nonprofits you personally know of.

The TWHC is getting huge amounts of buzz on the internet, participants are already arranging rides here from as far away as New England and Canada, and we received so many requests to speak that we filled all the spots the first week. There will be a deep ecological and conservation element, with the help of United Plant Savers. The website has been upgraded, a special blog built just for conference announcements, a first batch of flyers and brochure went out, and more are in the works. And finally, Mt. Rose Herbs and LearningHerbs.com made the first good sized sponsor donations. That said, we have a number of tables/spaces to fill, and we could use more financial sponsors to ensure the event’s success.

There are 3 essential elements to this work:
-researching related businesses, nonprofits and health practitioners in NM
-Sending materials email, or snail mail when necessary
-making followup calls to be sure they got the material, encouraging them to commit

We could especially use more help contacting places BETWEEN NOW AND FEB 1ST , the deadline for Sponsors to be included on the first 1,000 20″ posters, in the first 1,000 revised color trifold brochures, and in our Sponsor Drive Director, Rosalee’s slide show video due to be made available through YouTube and through herbal and healing portals.

And those of you who understandably can’t commit to filling a Volunteer Position in this way,

we would still welcome your help sending out to any business, nonprofits and health practitioners you know:

a) TWHC Sponsor Invite

b) TWHC Sponsor Application

c) TWHC Vendor Invite

d) TWHC Vendor Application

You can click on any of the above to download them, the send them yourself and let us know you contacted. Or alternately, simply send us the contact name and email and phone, and we will get ahold of them ourselves. Please try to think of what business, healers, educators and advocacy groups you know of that might value an opportunity to be involved with this conference and promoted as its essential supporter.

Thank you ever so much! As with all of this work, it is only accomplished with the help of you, the larger Animá tribe.
