The Dedication page draft is almost complete - just a few alterations and then I'll add the JPeg picture to this page - hopefully tomorrow. This is the second most important page to me to get right, first being the cover, hence the need to make sure it is just right before displaying the final version. Hopefully the pages of the calendar will follow on for checking and as soon as I receive them and they've been approved I'll also add those to this page.
I've been busy setting up a My Space to promote the calendar, so if anyone has a My Space, please add me: www.myspace.com/cfcalendar2009
It's coming along - getting to the exciting stage now!!

Quick Update
Nothing exciting to report on the Calendar progress yet, but hopefully there will be more news within the next couple of weeks.
A PDF file for the cover and back cover were sent to the printer today and am now waitint for the calendar pages to arrive for me to check for picture content, names, spellings etc. Once they are all approved I will add the pages to this Blog when the JPeg formats have been sent.
Had the Press Association on the phone yesterday keen to run a story, but we are not ready for publicity yet - I can't send out Calendars because we don't have any. Nice to know they are interested though so will get in touch with them again once we have a Calendar.
Once the Calendar has been approved and sent to print, the Order Form will be put together - when that happens I'll start plugging the Calendar again in order to drag in pre-orders.
Keep watching this space!!!

Brief Update
Just a quick update for folks looking to see how things are progressing with the Calendar. So far we have 247 pictures with 258 people with Cystic Fibrosis included on doubled up pictures. Still getting the odd picture sent to me and we can still include those right up until we go to print. Designer contacted me last night to say we are looking at 18 and 15 per page to equal them out and 15 on the Dedication Page. Hoping to start receiving some drafts to check over soon - I have to make sure all pictures are accounted for - all names and spellings are correct and advertising wording is as has been sent. It's not a quick process, but a thorough one. Last year I got one name wrong and spelt one wrong unintentionally! This year I'm looking for 100% perfection on the last Calendar - it's got to be 100% perfect in order to gain as much publicity as possible in order to achieve the target figure of £10,000 and more.
Already had the Community Newswire telling me they will run a feature once the Calendar is ready and that reaches out to national newspapers and magazines. It is a free on-line Media area for Charitable concerns.
More to follow within the next couple of weeks - keep checking in!

Cover Draft
This is the possible cover we will be using for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust Fundraising Calendar for 2009 - CFuture. Just needs a little bit of tweaking, but we are nearly there!
I hope no-one minds me singling out Alex for the cover picture - he inspired me to push to make this the best - to raise as much awareness, to generate as much publicity and to raise as much money as I possibly can for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to give people like him the chance of a life - a talent, a gift, which should not be denied - for him, for my son's and for all those babies, children and adults suffering from Cystic Fibrosis and the day to day routines and upheavals it throws at them every single day of their lives.
Inside will be designed over the next few weeks and once I have received all the months, as well as the Dedication Page, I'll add them to this page.
Links to the Order Form will also be put on here and hopefully my son's website Webmaster will update their Home Page soon with a "teaser" cover.
It's all coming together nicely!!
243 pictures - 254 people with Cystic Fibrosis included (on doubled up pictures). This will be by far the best one I've ever put together.
