It is important to hold the events on the same day as this really emphasizes
things to the press . The single day really becomes significant when we start
talking to the press . It is the coordinated effort that makes it so crucial that
they cover the story . It also makes it an international EVENT in the truest
meaning of the word . Of course , it is not important that we are not doing so
this year as this is the first run and we will undoubtedly make dozens of other
mistakes .Still , let us look at it as a learning experience , preparation for
next
year when we will make this a major Media event the world over !
