Note From Sandy
Hey, all you 2Ge+herites!
I'm having
a bit of a motivation problem -- maybe you can help me. The donations to Project Michael have
subsided. Within the past few weeks,
I'm gotten a total of $15. Where did
everyone go? Are we forgetting Michael,
his message, and how he died? My goal
was to raise $1,000 by September (next month) so that I could donate it
publically at Ashley's official MCF dinner, but I'm not going to give her
$400. That's not enough, and it puts
our project to shame.
This is not
my project...this is yours. I'm just
another person donating -- I'm not taking the credit. I'm frustrated. Please
prove me wrong and send a few dollars or e-mail me and let me know that things
will be okay. Should I just send in the
$400 and stop the project, or does everybody still want to "make a
difference?"
Enjoy the
issue! Sorry for bringing the mood
down, but really, can you blame me for getting discouraged?

I am in dire need of Alex's appearance on "Just Shoot
Me" (entire episode), the Michael interview that has been airing on STAR
TV, CITY, and BRAVO, Kevin's appearance on "The Test," and Kevin's
appearance in "The Breaks."
Stay tuned to this section for updates on the scrapbooks and
your video collection orders!

Ashley (michaelcuccionefoundation@hotmail.com) is putting
together a scrapbook for Gloria Cuccione's birthday on September 22. She'd like fans' messages, gifts,
poems/songs, favorite pictures of Michael, favorite quotes of Michael's,
drawings of Michael, and pretty much anything else you might have to offer. Donations would be great as well! Want to help/take part in this very special
tribute to an incredible lady? E-mail
Ashley to find out how! (2G2d's actual
involvement in this project will be ascertained at a later date...but I
definately support it now!)

We all love easy MCF fundraisers! Try this one out:
"My friends and I are doing a few fundraisers for the
Michael Cuccione Cancer Research Foundation. First of all, we have a website at
http://www.geocities.com/big2getherfanz/Main.html. Please go there and sign
the guestbook. For every visitor we get (on the main page
and the other pages), we will donate 5 cents to the Michael Cuccione Cancer
Research Foundation. For every guestbook entry, we will donate 10 cents.
Depending on how many visitors & entries we get, this could add up to a
lot!!! Another
fundraiser we are doing is our garage sale, here in Albert
Lea, Minnesota. We are having it the 18th & 19th. We hope a lot of people
from A.L. come and buy stuff, because we are going to donate some of the money
to the MCCRF, some will be used by the club for supplies, and we might donate
some to Project Michael. (I have to
tell my friends about it see what they say.)
Please e-mail us at big2getherfanz@yahoo.com to give us suggestions,
comments, questions etc. on our site. It's under major construction, and we
still have to make pages for Michael (QT) and Kevin (Doug). Thanks so much!!!

Member Maria (ModelQTpie001@aol.com) brought to my attention
a child actor by the name of Kenny who would be an excellent selection to play
Michael Cuccione (or possibly his little brother Steven) in his movie. Kenny acts in a show called "ZOOM"
that airs on PBS at 5pm on weekdays.
Apparently, the kid even sounds like Michael when he was younger, and
he's definately got the Italian look!
Check him out at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/zoom/cast/kenny/!

Here's a great fundraiser that all of you should take part
in...The Robin's Egg Blue Ribbon Project (to remember Michael *and* raise money
for Project Michael)!
"When Michael died, a few friends and I wore a light
blue ribbon on our ankle in memory of him.
I thought that there should be a ribbon program that would help us
remember Michael and help his foundation at the same time. The goal is to raise money for Project
Michael and show our love and respect for Michael by selling ribbons and giving
the money to the MCF. Yes, Gloria
Cuccione has approved the project and is excited to take part! If you would like to help out, e-mail
me. I hope to send out a newsletter to
everyone who asks, since I already have tons of people asking how they can
help! I hope this works, and I hope
you'll choose to take part!"

The writers at http://www.trouble.co.uk/2gether/qt.shtml
have made a joke within their QT biography that some believe was in bad taste:
"THE CUTIE
Geddit? He's the
cutie, so they've called him QT. In the
tradition of boybands everywhere, at least one member has to appeal to the
under-5s and the grannies, so that's where QT comes in. Unfortunately, QT has now passed away ***(we
hear it was due to a bizarre gardening accident)*** so is sadly no longer with
the band."
Does this sort of bother you? Visit the Trouble Notice Boards at
http://195.188.171.11/cgi-ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Trouble+on+TV&number=2
or simply e-mail them at Trouble@trouble.co.uk and offer them up a piece of
your mind! (Source: UNNNO1@cs.com)

Want to help with Noah's upcoming solo CD? Here's a message to 2G2d members from Kelly
(Noah's "maybe-or-maybe-not girlfriend") herself!
"You can email me about Noah's voice or the type of
music you would like to hear him singing.
We are in pre-production for his solo album, and I would love to get all
the input I possibly can from his fans.
I will eventually set up another email account that will go directly to
the record company, but for now it can go to me and I'll pass it on."
She'd like comments and suggestions about Noah's voice and
music to be sent to her at Lyoness926@aol.com.
Apparently, Noah's also been asking for fans' opinions on what type of
music beat/type he should use, so get yourself heard and tell them what you'd
like to hear from our boy, Chadwin!

Quote/Fun Fact
"The most important thing is to be able to go through
something difficult with a positive attitude.
You have to make light of every situation. It makes it easier in the long run." -Michael Cuccio
Anthology
Due to his overwhelming inability to speak in front of
crowds, Chad never placed in any of the thirty-six male beauty competitions in
which he entered. "I'm proud of
what I did," says Chad proudly, "even if I hated every torturous,
humiliating minute of it."
Sadly, Chad's parents never saw their yougest child spread
his wings. On September 4, 1997, while
returning from one of Chad's beauty contests, Jim and lee, as the Linuses were
affectionately known, were killed when their 1954 Jaguar convertible flipped
over and decapitated the two passengers.
Eyewitnesses claim that the driver, James, was showing off for Leota,
trying to "pop a wheelie" with the vehicle. The wheelie was reportedly successful, however momentary. -p38
