[Nfbc-info] A fundraising idea

Wed Aug 12 19:00:09 UTC 2009

This was not specific to Straw Hat. We have not had it in our area for years 
from what I understand and they are now just apparently preparing to open a 
location in North Fresno from what I found on the web site. The problem 
locally is that the area is flooded with various types of coupon books as 
this has been one of the methods of fund raising used locally by the school 
booster clubs through Fresno Unified to raise funds. ALocally the CCB 
chapter has sold coupon books for the past few years but I'm not sure how 
good their success rate is.

>> Hi all.
>> Read and consider,Just discovered this yesterday August 10.
>> I don't have time to do this on a chapter level.
>> Because the convention is upon us this is something that would have to

>> I need one or more NFBC affiliates to sponsor and attend with friends
>> and Family my Giant! "Beat the heat and have a treat) NFBC Pizza night!
>> Money can be used in a couple ways

>> who wants to go stopping to pick up along the way from Sacramento to
> Freemont.
>> 2. We could use it to sponsor people who need help attending the
>> convention.
