[Nfbc-info] A fundraising idea

Wed Aug 12 18:35:50 UTC 2009

    Hi Chuck The good thing about straw hat is they offer a variety of 
aproaches to fundraising not limited to coupon books.  The big problem one 
might have selling a $20 coupon book is those limit purchasers to straw hat 
while others sell the entertainment coupon book that has a variety of 
coupons from a variety of restaurants.  Straw hat coupons still could work 
though especially for folks who like straw hat pizza.
If you got some of the colleges and or churches  in Fresno involved money 
could be made but as you say accessability can be a problem.
