For now we have a newspaper ad with the invitation, if people in the region read the newspaper (I wish), they will read our invitation, we sent a email invitation to all the towns in the region(about 18 cities), invitations to all the media in the region (about 15), to the Société de Développement du Témiscamingue (20 employees), the SADC (Société d'Aide au Développement des Collectivités), the Carrefour jeunesse emploi, and all our personal contacts in the Témiscamingue.

We have put an invitation with the poster at Laniel, at the pedestral trail,
3-4 public places in Ville-Marie, and many dépanneurs in the citys near of Ville-Marie and Laniel (Guigues, Lorraiville, Béarn, Fabre), the region is big, so I don't go at all the 18 city in the region, we placed many invitations near Ville-Marie (35 km) and called the radio station to have some ad tomorrow and friday.

Its hard to believe people will drive more than 40-45 km to come, the region is very big...but we are hopeful.

I don,t know how many people will come, but if we have more than 20-25 people, I'll be happy.
