Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that the website for my CD 'Stranger's City' is up and running and my CDs will be available for sale next week. On the inside cover I have the following statement: "Cas McCullough supports the right of women to choose one-to-one midwifery care" and the web address for Maternity Coalition. I plan on sending this CD to our Qld Premier with a letter attached outlining why I put it together. Hopefully, it will get some airplay as well.
Also, 50 cents from each CD sold will be donated to Birthtalk. This wonderful support group in Brisbane is run by 3 amazing mothers who give of their time to help women like me recover from traumatic birth experiences and prepare for future birth experiences. They have had some fantastic successes in helping women have better birth experiences and they spend many hours on the phone and with women at their meetings with no reimbursement for their costs. 50 cents doesn't sound like a lot but my production costs were very high and at least we may be able to raise enough for them to help pay for phone calls and books that they loan women through their library (all personal copies at the moment)... every little bit counts. Hopefully, if I sell a zillion of these we can make a real difference. I am also offering a deal to other groups who may want to sell the CDs at a retail rate of up to $15 each (the 50 cents for Birthtalk comes out of my share). If any groups would like to sell the CD as a fundraiser for their group, I am offering the following deals: If a group or individual buys 10 or more CDs at a time they can have them at the wholesale rate of $7.50 each and mark them up to resell. (postage will be added to this at cost) If a group wants to sell the CDs but does not want to buy them from me prior to sale, they will cost $10 each. If anyone buys a copy from me at a meeting (such as HMA or Maternity Coalition) they will cost $10. If I have to mail CDs to buyers it will cost $15 to allow for postage and handling (within Australia). There is an MP3 of one of my songs, 'Letter to my unborn child' on the website and lyrics to many of my songs. These can be downloaded for free for personal use. Anyway, you can check out my website at www.casmccullough.com. I hope you like it! This little project has taken a year and half for me to complete and I am hoping to earn enough from sales of this CD to record a full-length LP version in the next year or so. In solidarity....cheers Cas. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
