[Oabs] Bookmark update

Sat Nov 15 22:14:07 UTC 2014

Emily, 
Way to go!  
This is exactly how it works.  We talk about our interesting work to
interesting people and they want to help.  
Hats off to you!

And this will probably make the bookmarks possible!

Hi, Kaiti and all.
My dad does not really have a template; he has the outdated description I
sent last December, but that was with the old logo.
Personally, I'd be in favor of either starting with 100 or 250 bookmarks. I
actually think we could afford 250 because of some good news I got this past
week. I was going to either send it in a separate message or let everyone
know this Friday, but I'll say it now. My family and I were having lunch
with my dad's former boss and her husband, who are longtime family friends
of hers. Margie -- my dad's old boss -- is still big into fund-raising even
though she's retired, so I was telling her a bit about my fund-raising
responsibilities in OABS and what we do as a division. Right then and there,
she offered to donate a check to us for $100, which I received at my house a
couple of days ago. Once I get all of our bills paid out from our account,
I'll give a final total on what our balance is, and we could go from there,
and that will definitely be done in time for the meeting. I may have some
other donations coming in, but I'll say more on that when I am certain as to
whether or not they will actually come to fruition. $100 is small, but to
us, that will make a huge difference. I'm definitely sending Margie a
thank-you note for that one.

Hi all,

I got in touch with Nicole from NBP today, and we went over prices.  I
mentioned to her that we can't make $350 work, and so she gave me some tips
to reduce our price.

1.  It will be easier for NBP to produce our bookmarks at a lower price if
we can cut out as much design work and printing as possible.
We may have to have them print everything for us unless anyone knows of a
professional printer we can use for cheap, but the fee for design was pretty
considerable.  I remembered the description coming from a template that Tim
Pennington had.  If this is still the case, and we have the template to send
to NBP, that will take the design element out of our cost.

Nicole said that once she has the template, she can quote me for 100
bookmarks, 250 bookmarks, and 500 again.  Those are the amounts in which we
can order.  Even if we only order 100 bookmarks at a time and each take
about 10 (some may have fewer bookmarks than others, but once we sell about
half of them we can place another order and keep replenishing our stock), we
can pick up speed.  We can start small if we have to, and work up.

I'll touch base with Tim tomorrow; I know Emily is pretty busy, and I enjoy
bantering with him.  We'll see what he's got, and if he's still got the
template and we just need to replace Whozit with the new logo and tagline, I
can have the template to Nicole by Monday.
