Observer Inc. Sponsors Cleveland International Film Festival

Jim O'Bryan · Post by **Jim O'Bryan** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:22 am

The Observer Media Family is one of the proud sponsors for the Cleveland International Film Festival. Our sister publication Heights Observer helped to bring the deal to all Observer media projects.

As such, we have tickets to give away, and I am looking for a fun, fair way to do it.

Any ideas?

This is just the first promotion within all Observers that will see all of us, enjoy many fun and exciting events in Northern Ohio this year.

Party On.

Love the Film Festival. I managed to get two passes one year, they were gifted to me. Took my son and also took a couple different friends. It was wonderful to not only see, but meet the people involved in making unnique pieces of art that spoke to me about every facet of life.

Wonderful.

Forgot to mention!

In Lakewood this is done in cooperation with Lakewood Is Art.
Bringing, art, music and beauty to Lakewood's streets.

Hi,
This is a great thing for your organization to support. We always love taking a field trip to the film festival.

With Observer Inc.'s much larger footprint comes many new responsibilities and opportunities. However we stay based in Lakewood, will continue to grow and promote Lakewood.

To me it is a lifestyle and my home.

LIA may have some ideas about great opportunities with those tickets.

We'll let everyone know what we come up with!

That's great, as they are Lakewood Observer tickets I really feel they belong to those that have taken part in this project.

Community tickets.

I donâ€™t know how many tickets the LO is looking to give away. Here are my thoughts (not necessarily in any order):

- volunteers at the LO
- LO advertisers
- new Deck members
- high school/Beck center students
- MAMA and DADA members (maybe a drawing for a few tickets at their meetings?)
- others who give their time on behalf of LO projects or worthwhile endeavors

I think the fairest way would be to give them to whoever fills up the most space in the paper and/or edits most of it. So, I guess that means, me, Dan, and Thealexa. (;

Heather

You know my volunteers and contributors are like family to me and the board. I have something extra special for all of you.

Watch for an email from Editor Dan Slife.

As always, none of this is possible without you, Lakewood residents, businesses taking part.

We share the glory and more.
