[Nfb-greeley] Fund Raising at Convention Update

[codyjbair at yahoo.com]

I think the breakfast idea has potential on a small scale. Possibly spending around $30/$40 on something like Granola bars to sell and marking them up to double the price we buy them for and then when we run out we run out.

I could check prices at Walmart/King Sooper’s if you all would like me to do so. Unfortunately I don’t have a Sams/Cosco membership.

Thanks,

Cody

Melissa, 

 

I was thinking about it; since you, JJ, and Cody are going to be the only ones going to state – how much do you think you and JJ can realistically sell? I’m going to assume Cody will have other things he’ll need to be doing as well that will take up most of his time. 

 

If you guys want to add or buy something to sell or contribute that is up to you guys. However I don’t think it’s a good idea since we never really sell that much at a state convention and we’re already low on funds. Further, on top of any funds spent we still have to buy Pizza for the financial Wellness seminar. 

 

If you and JJ think you can sell and make an actual profit to give to the affiliate do so. But realize that if we lose money doing this, that further takes away from our currently limited funds.  Just food for thought. 

 

I would agree with Diane the trail mix idea could work for national next year. 

 

Best regards, 

Dora Lopez

Oh wow, that is a lot.  What if we just did one variety?  may be just pretzels, chocolate and those little gordedo cracker mix.  Just no nuts.  


I think we should have something other than the 5050.  Remember we will be asked to give or pledge something to the affiliate.  It would help us to have some extra money in hand to do that.


What about breakfast items?  I know I would buy donuts, granola bars, or honey buns.  Since breakfast is going to be  expensive in the hotel.  Since we probably won’t have any door prizes to contribute this year.  I have a call in to the city to check for Greeley mugs.  


Have a Blessed day.
Melissa R. Green And Pj

Hi All, 


I just wanted to let you know that I discussed the trail mix idea with Dianne yesterday and making the different varieties of trail mix that we discussed at the meeting would cost $160. This would have given us 100 bags and if we were to sell them at $2 a piece would gross us $200 and give us a $40 profit.


Therefore, I don’t think this  is something we should do and we should abandon the trail mix idea and focus on the 50-50.


I could look in to candy of some sort if all of you think this would be worth our while. Please let me know all of your thoughts.


Thanks,


Cody
