Please send any submissions as well as comments and suggestions to scott73@SaveRoswell.com, and we may include them in an issue! This issue's submissions feature an event that happened in Chicago (scroll down) as well as a touching story from Cynthia. Thanks for sending this in to us Cynthia!
Hello, my name is Cynthia and i am a 27 year old teacher at the American School for the Deaf in Connecticut. I teach English and Math to 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students and I adore Roswell. I have from the pilot. It was my fervor for this show that lead me to The Crashdown website. During my visit I happened upon the it's fanfiction section. I read some stories and was intriqued. The few stories i read were interesting but not quite to the level the writers had had me accustomed to; the first season anyway. The next story I read was entitled "Dealing" and was written by N/A. It was exquisite! As an English teacher, my appreciation for N/A's writing was in her structural and conceptual grasp on the English language. She was and still is able to construct a story that weaves together a complete life. Her storytelling skills are innate. I needed to tell her this, so i wrote her an e-mail exalting her ability. As a result of our casual conversations a strong bond of friendship was built. I had to go meet this woman. We live on opposite sides of the country but that summer, eight months after we first wrote, I flew out to meet her. I had only seen her in pictures and only knew of her life through her eloquent words on my computer screen, but I went none-the-less. My visit with her was transforming. I am truly a new and better person for meeting her, and I thank Roswell for being the catalyst for this friendship. Without it, I wouldn't have her and I am indebted.
* * HOT CHOCOLATE CAMPAIGN * * On December 9, 2000, a small group of Roswell fans, 4 to be exact, gathered in Downtown Chicago. They were meeting to hand out flyers promoting "A Roswell Christmas Carol". Attached to every flyer was a packet of hot cocoa mix, with a label on it asking them to watch Roswell. They also handed out bags of candy and met in front of the Chicago Tribune Tower. The Tribune company owns WGN TV, which, in Chicago, shows Roswell, so they felt it made sense to meet there! All in all, they were able to hand out about 200 flyers and packets of hot cocoa! "It was a lot of fun! Not only did I get to meet some fans that are as crazy about the show as I am, but it was just fun getting out there and letting people know about Roswell," says Matt, "It is SO IMPORTANT to take our campaigning offline! I know SO MANY Roswell fans that NEVER post on Fan Forum and don't even know the Crashdown exists! We need to reach out to these fans, but we also need to let people know about Roswell! Believe it or not, there are millions of people out there who have never heard of the show...OR EVEN THE WB!" This is a great story illustrating the importance of offline campaigning, handing out flyers, printing out this newsletter for your friends and organizing a Roswell party in your neighborhood. All of these are ways to really promote Roswell. As stated in the story, there are SO MANY fans that NEVER go online, and millions of people who don't even know about Roswell! Let's let them know!
* * PCF PRESS RELEASE * * "Roswell" Fans and Pediatric Cancer Foundation Join Forces Fans of the hit WB television drama "Roswell" are trying to show the world that they can do much more than ship Tabasco Sauce. Roswell fans across the country are now helping make a young cancer patient's dream come true. They have joined forces with the Pediatric Cancer Foundation (showcased on the episode 'A Roswell Christmas Carol' which aired on December 18th on the WB at 9PM EST). The organization is very touched by the many responses they have received from Roswell fans everywhere in the way of e-mails, letters, donations and toys arriving just in time for the holidays. The child is scheduled to fly with his/her family to California for a 2 day visit to Disneyland. The trip will also include a very special invitation from the cast to visit to the set of Roswell at Paramount Studios during filming. The total expense for the trip will cost several thousand dollars, to be funded by the generous donations of dedicated Roswell fans everywhere. Donations in excess of the cost of granting the wish will be directed toward pediatric cancer research. If you would like to help, donations should be made payable to Pediatric Cancer Foundation. "Roswell" should be written on the check. Please mail to: Pediatric Cancer Foundation If you are not able to make a monetary donation, please know that there are many other things you can do to help. If you would like more information about PCF or this campaign, please direct any questions to PCF@SaveRoswell.com. Questions and e-mails will be promptly forwarded.
