If you have the time and energy to help by encouraging even one person to register, you could win! Every time you mention either the Public Lecture or the CME workshop to someone let him/her know that if s/he writes your name at the bottom of the registration form where it says "NAME OF REFERRAL SOURCE", you will benefit.
For every Public Lecture registrant that writes your name at the bottom of their registration, one ballot with your name on it will go into a draw for a free registration to the Public Lecture. (if you have already paid, you will get a refund). There is no maximum, the better your chaces. Draws for free registration will be made on Wednesdays April 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th.
A grand prize winner, the person who refers the most Public Lecture registratrants, will be announced during the lecture on May 1st and will receive a $100 gift voucher from the health/grocery store of his/her choice.
For every CME Workshop registrant that writes your name at the bottom of their registration, you will recieve one free registration to the Public Lecture (or $25 per registrant if you have already received a free registration). There is no maximum, the more people you refer, the more you earn.
A grand prize winner, the person who refers the most CME workshop registrants will be announced during the lecture on May 1st and will receive a $100 gift voucher from the health/grocery store of their choice.
Here's what to do:
1. Come to the office this Saturday April 2nd between 2 - 4 pm to meet others who will be helping out to discuss strategy and publicity ideas and pick up supplies. For those out of town and out of province, I will email a list of the ideas to you after that meeting. We need out of towners to help with this as well. We want to improve health care not only in Calgary but all over Canada.
2. Post copies of the public lecture notice and/or the CME Workshop notice wherever allowed and appropriate (stores, libraries, gyms, health food stores, health care offices etc.) Add a note so that people who register after seeing your notice will quote your name (please use an alias for security).
3. Use email, facebook or twitter to spread the word and increase your referrals. If you are using facebook or twitter our "links" are listed in small print here:
There are TWO facebook links:
Our Twitter hashtag is #MECFSStein. Copy and paste the message below (often) on your Twitter feeds.
Diagnosing CFS/ME workshop. /CFS
4. Let the office know if you think someone whom you have referred has registred so that we can put that name on your "list". If you have used an alias, let us know the name so that we can keep track of referrals. We will record each referral once paid registration has been received.
5. Posts on the contest and other program information will be updated weekly by email, Facebook and twitter.
Working together we CAN make a difference. 30 days and counting.
