Thanks to Cassandra for sending this in:
\nLast spring I made flyers to promote the move to Mondays. For the season 2 premiere I went all out, during the few weeks before the show I plastered my college campus and my city with flyers. I must have put up 200. To try and get some of the Monday night football crowd to start watching Roswell after the season was over I posted on a few football message boards and but flyers up at some local sports bars. They said things like, “So Monday Night Football’s over, now what? Ally McBeal or the Monday Night Chick Flick on ABC not appealing? Try Roswell, Monday Nights at 9:00 on the WB20.” I put pics of Katie on the flyers, I figured if she couldn’t get sports guys to watch nothing
\ncould! LOL! Another one I did said, “No more football? Spend your Monday nights with the ladies of Roswell…” I put pictures of all the girls on those ones. I figure if sex sells we might as well take advantage of it! Anyway I’m hoping they at least made people curious about the show. I think one of the things we have to is just get the name out there. So many people don’t watch the WB and have no idea that the show exists.<\/p>\n

\nHere is the latest press release concerning the PCF campaign that should be
\nsent to any and all media organizations:<\/p>\n

“Roswell” Fans and PCF Show How Much They Care<\/p>\n

Fans of the hit WB television drama “Roswell” are more than just your
\neveryday fans. Roswell fans across the country are now helping make a young
\ncancer patient’s dream come true. They have joined forces with the Pediatric
\nCancer Foundation (showcased on the episode ‘A Roswell Christmas Carol’ which
\naired on December 18th on the WB).<\/p>\n

Fans have selected a 15 year old boy named Sebastian to fly to California.
\nHe’s a huge sci-fi fan and enjoys watching Roswell. He’s very
\ninteresting and an all around great kid. The trip will include a very
\nspecial invitation from the cast to visit the set of Roswell at Paramount
\nStudios during filming. He’s also interested in doing some fine Mexican
\ndining. The total expense for the trip will cost several thousand dollars
\nfunded by the generous donations of dedicated Roswell fans everywhere.
\nDonations in excess of the cost of granting the wish will be directed toward
\npediatric cancer research. In addition, several prestigious companies have
\ndonated towards the trip: airfare by Merrill Lynch, rental car by Enterprise
\nRent-A-Car, room by Marriott and a tour by The WB.<\/p>\n

Fans have raised $1700 so far. If you would like to help, donations can be
\nmade payable to Pediatric Cancer Foundation. “Roswell” should be written on
\nthe check. Please mail to:<\/p>\n

Pediatric Cancer Foundation
\n405 Tarrytown Road, PMB 572
\nWhite Plains, NY 10607-1313<\/p>\n

If you are not able to make a monetary donation, please know that there are
\nmany other things you can do to help. If you would like more information
\nabout PCF or this campaign, please direct any questions to PCF@SaveRoswell.com<\/p>\n

Questions and e-mails will be promptly forwarded. For additional
\ninformation, please visit http:\/\/www.saveroswell.com\/pcf.html .<\/p>\n
