Note From Sandy
Hello fellow 2Ge+herites!
I know it's been boring lately, since Noah's been trying to get out of a bad
contract, Evan's been busy with completing the deal on a secret project,
Kevin's been filming little movies here and there, and Alex has fallen off the
face of this earth (apparently). In these times of 2Ge+her-less-ness, though,
the thing to remember is that we've got to stick 2Ge+her and keep it
2Ge+her...as always. Read below and enjoy, my friends!
--Where did you buy your copy of "Anthology of Awesomeness?" Let me
know (subj: Anthology Answer).
--The Official Project Michael Site, http://projectmichael.cjb.net, was updated
last week and will periodically have news about the progress of the scrapbooks,
donations, and video collection. (If you've got some free time, check out the
chat room. It's boring when there's nobody in there!)
--A member contest is in progress. The stats are below.

The person who collects the highest number of new members over 20 will receive
a copy of the cassette-taped interview. If you plan on participating, don't
forget to tell potential members to let me know that "so-and-so sent
me!" I will set an end date as soon as someone reaches a number over 20.

2Ge+her 2day has just recently found a direct connection to The Michael
Cuccione Foundation via an employee, Ashley Kleinknecht. With any questions
about the foundation, feel free to e-mail her at
michaelcuccionefoundation@hotmail.com.
--She organizes different events and travels to other ones.
--She is part of a committee that decides for and against ideas for events.
--She may be in charge of cleaning up www.makingadifference.org!
--She wanted me to tell you that the foundation is behind in responding because
people are leaving massive amounts of letters and they cannot be downloaded
onto the computer because it takes too long and there is not enough space.
"Please let Michael fans know that the Cucciones are not ignorant; there
is just too much to read and too little time."
--She is organizing the charity dinner in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on
October 27. (See #5 for more information!)
--She does it all for free! Here's a woman we can all look up to in our fight
to find a cure!

it).

Here is some information on a few Canadian fundraisers for The Michael Cuccione
Foundation! (Source: Ashley Kleinknecht at spinny_princess56@hotmail.com)
--The Cuccione's dinner will take place at the Italian Cultural Center in
Vancouver, Canada on September 22. Tickets will be $60.00. More information on
this event will be posted at www.makingadifference.org as the sale date
approaches. The dress code will be mid-formal, with a shirt and tie for boys
and a dress for girls. As has been reported by Michael's former agent, Kristina
Van De Walle, there will be live and silent auctions and a 50-50 draw in
addition to a wonderful meal.
--Another dinner with profits going toward the foundation will be held in
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on October 27. A recording of this dinner's
presentation will be sent directly to the Cucciones. Tickets are currently
selling quickly for $35.00 a person. To attend, e-mail Ashley at
spinny_princess56@hotmail.com ASAP! Noah Bastian has sent autographed pictures
to be auctioned off at this dinner with all money going toward the foundation.
Members of 2Ge+her 2day can bid on these as well by e-mailing Ashley. (One was
sold recently for $53 Canadian, and one will be placed on eBay.com today. Once
the one on eBay is sold, two autographed pictures remain for bidding.)

Kohls has made this statement when e-mailed: "Sorry...we are sold out of
2Ge+her dolls and we have no plans to carry them again." When I called the
Kohls locations that once stocked 2Ge+her dolls, each told me that they are no
longer available. (Source: Sarah at QtKity182@aol.com) On a side note, these
dolls have been popular items on eBay.com in recent weeks.
If you'd still like to learn more about 2Ge+her dolls, the PlayAlong Toys
2Ge+her site at www.playalongtoys.com/2gether/index1.htm has several pictures
of each doll, and for my descriptions and a picture of my Kevin (Doug), Evan

There is exciting news from Gloria Cuccione (according to Ashley Kleinknecht at
spinny_princess56@hotmail.com):
--A CD will be released in the near future and features several unheard songs
that Michael had recorded before December (hopefully "Whether Life Is Sun
Or Rain" and "Learning From The Best") and some from 2Ge+her.
The producer of this recording is unspecified.
--MTV has officially agreed to produce the movie about Michael's life which is
currently being scripted. David Hasselhoff is helping with the film and may
even appear in it. Los Angeles and Vancouver are potential filming locations,
and rumour has it that, although no auditions have been held yet, they may
begin casting in New York City within the upcoming months. The movie is said to
feature not only Michael's story but also backgrounds on Stephan, Sophia (her
first kiss, specifically), and the rest of his family. (Source: TVT intern

Who? Props to evanfarmer.cc for digging this picture out of wbli.com! Evan sure
is a nice guy. In fact, have I told you all that he has recognized 2G2d? That's
right -- I sent for an autograph, and he wrote on my picture: "Thank
you...for the honour of 2Ge+her 2day!" amongst other things. Joanna, you
have great taste! :)
Quote/Fun Fact
Boy Crazy Magazine: Mickey, you're president. What do you do?
Mickey: I'd have the WWF invade France. Beat their French ass.
Chad: That's a good idea. Have you ever heard French people talk? It's lik
they're speaking Chinese or something.

3. I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye
from "Make A Difference"
(Michael Cuccione)
I don't wanna say goodbye.
I don't wanna make you cry.
Why do people come and go
hen there's so much love to show? Yeah...
CHORUS (changed a bit throughout):
I don't wanna say good...
I don't wanna say good...
Don't wanna say goodbye. No, no...
I don't wanna make you...
I don't wanna make you...
Don't wanna make you cry.
Because our love can be so true,
There's so much I wanna do.
You know how much I care. Whoa, oh...
Love in life is to share.
CHORUS
BRIDGE (changed a bit throughout):
Day by day, year by year,
I am gonna stay right here.
I don't wanna say goodbye.
I don't wanna say goodbye.
You know it...I don't wanna say goodbye.
Forever is not a choice.
One day we will hear God's voice,
And I hope today is not the day
Because I'll never wanna stay.
CHORUS
