Born again Reefer
We need to get a move on getting the BBQ/fundraisor planned....
Eric (salsaking) had offered either his house or his shop for the venue, so we need to follow up with that....
We also need to hit up the sponsors and whom ever else we can for donations.
for those that are new, last year we made a deal with the local sponsors....we would buy X amount of gift certificates and they would match our amount....Example: we would pay $100 and get $200.... This seemed to be a hit with members, but it did not make us any money. We pretty much broke even last year. But Eric donated $500 which made it all work it IMO.
In years past we have traditionally had a Huge tank to raffle off.. we would pay a local tank builder the cost of supplies and they would make a tank.... Last year the sponsor that was suppose to make the tank fell through several times and left us hanging and looking like idiots.
Here are my thoughts since time is working against us:
1. instead of tanks, we ask Jason (CFI) if he would be willing to cut us a deal/donate a couple of his most popular sized sumps...
2. We ask the local sponsors to do the matching of gift certificates agian and/or donate any drygoods.
3. We come up with other dry goods that we can purchase at wholesale pricing (I have a few connections) example: skimmer, Calcium Reactor, etc...
4. Instead of 2 and 3, we can ask the sponsors to donate certain dry goods that we will split THEIR cost on their item....
5. Like usual we will be purchasing the hamburgers, hotdogs, fixings, plates, and drinks. Salsaking will probably be featuring his famous margarita machine as well
ok thats all my rambling for now..... Your thoughts everyone....
