Mary and I weren't around this past weekend but we did get an update on the car wash which happened on Saturday. It wasn't the greatest success due to the weather so Patrick & Rachel have come up with some great ideas, see below and excerpt from the email you should have received:
Team,
This weekend on two separate occasions a few of our group members suggested a garage sale as a part of our fund raising. This idea was tossed around at one of our first meetings, but not much thought was given to it. I think this idea may work if we can acquire enough participation. The bottom line is we need stuff to sell. Below is a quick breakdown of the things we should shoot for to make the sale a success. Please give me your feedback via e-mail so that we do not have to wait for the next meeting to make progress. Include any ideas, if your are willing to use your house, and weekends you are NOT available. Lets try and set a date and location by this weekend.
1. Choose a house that has a busy road near by.
2. Advertise on Craigs List
3. Request donated items from family and friends to sell. As a part of that, we could volunteer to pick up any items that people are willing to donate.
4. We can sell other things at the garage sale as well as hand out literature.
5. Steal things from Erik to sell weather he still wants them or not.
6. Nice weather
Thanks,
Patrick
