[Oagdu] Fundraising ideas...

Tue Nov 3 12:42:58 UTC 2015

Hi Abby,
Although it is last minute, I like the idea of selling handmade items. And I'm sure many people will be looking for scarves and hats around that time of year. I think we have a few other knitters on this list too, who may be willing to donate some items. I think those prices sound fair. What do others think? 
I do have an idea about keychains that I will be mentioning at our business meeting on Saturday, the 21st.

yick! ok, so this may be last minute, but would anyone be interested in selling something else? like jewelry or something like that?
Keychains and that kind of stuff?
Also, I can knit a few scarves and hats that we could sell.
I don't know how many I would be able to make by then, would you guys buy a hand knitted hat for $3 to $5 depending on the size? or is that price too high?
I was thinking $6 or $7 for a scarf, but if someone buys a hat and a scarf, do $10 for both together or something like that?
I'm horrible at setting prices and marketing (that is why I am not a business major!) Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks,

Abby and Cricket

We can share the link so that if people order from that link the money will go directly into our OAGDU account.  That really goes nicely with the baking too.  I am sooooooooooooo good.  Okay, Deanna, I don't need any comments from you either.
