Two of us spent this morning ringing businesses to see if they would support Cooktown Cares. We had two hours before deadline to get a feature in this week's local paper. What an overwhelming response! Everybody likes the idea of donating a % of visitor spend, and we already have pledges of support from James Cook Museum, Guurrbi Tours, Cooktown Motel Pam's Place, Sovereign Resort, Seaview Motel, Cooktown Holiday Park, Coral Princess Cruises, Cooktown's Bargain Barn, Milkwood Lodge, Alamanda Inn, the Croc Shop and the Mayor. Paradise Realty want to hold an Auction, and the Cooktown Local News has also pledged its support, and is making space on the front page of this week's issue so we can start getting the word out.
Oh - and we mustn't forget Queensland Online's James Davison, who came up with the name 'Cooktown Cares' and is contributing his IT expertise. Thank you JD!
