Hi partners,
A few weeks ago, I sent you all an
email about how one of our long-time members, Deborah Longshaw, had started an
initiative to break the world record for most number of people virtually holding
hands.
The Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait
has officially partnered with her on this and would love to see this be a huge
success.
I'm hoping you can help us all make a
new world record, by joining us and telling your members about it. When this
started, it was understood the current World Record was 10,260 posts from a
thread on the Dirty Dancing site. However, we were recently informed that the
new record is now 29,217 from a thread on the Cityville website, set on January
9th of this year!!
Michael Jackson fans number into the
hundreds of thousands and beyond, we can do this! We can get at least 30,000
fans holding hands! UPDATE: as of February 22, 2011 there are 3,366 people
holding hands for MJ. We still have a long way to go and we would love to see
those numbers go up.
Please come hold hands with us. It's
simple, go to the Holding Hands for Michael Face Book page:
click on LIKE and leave the following comment on the one
wall post there: IS HOLDING HANDS WITH MY FELLOW MJ FAN

Also, Deborah has started putting
some videos together showing the fans involved in breaking the record. She is
asking the fans to send in their videos (or pictures) with them stating "My name
is.......and I am from......and I am a Michael Jackson fan and I am holding
hands for the World Record". she has produced two videos with those who have
already submitted their video or picture. (see links below). If they cant do a
video then they are more than welcome to send in a picture of themselves but
they must either digitally add the words above or hold a sign up with them on to
be included.
As always,
if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Thank you
for your time!
