[Ohio-talk] Cancellation of Station at Flying Pig

[nmpbrat at aol.com]

All,I have not participated in this event....as Colleen stated, it is cost prohibitive for me to do so.  I am also not familiar with what all the affiliate has tried in terms of fundraising.  I can only go off of what I know based upon other groups I have belonged to or been involved with that were nonprofit.  In my experiences, fundraising was more difficult when it required a certain amount of in-person participation or certain restrictions for the fundraiser.  As a suggestion...and I apologize if I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong....but maybe try a different fundraiser, at least for this year.  As an example, one group I belong to has used Dairy Queen for fundraising.  I am not a hundred percent sure if their policies are across all their restaurants but i know it is consistent in my area.  Basically, you set up the date and they determine the time frame on that day....it's usually something like 6-10pm.  When we have done this, we have gotten several hundred dollars just in one night.  Think of how much money could be fundraised if it was done in multiple locations.  No one has to be present during the time frame (unless you want to) and the check can be picked up at a later time.  If you wish to have someone present to hand out materials about the group, I believe you can do so.  As I said, just a suggestion.  Hope everyone has a good evening.Nicole

Hello Everyone,
It is unfortunately that we had to cancel our spot at Flying Pig Activity.
It would have been good PR for us.
Maybe we could recoup our $500 if the people who would have gone to the event would donate what it would have cost them to go to the event.
I have never participated in this event because it would have cost me about $700 for a driver, hotel room and meals.
I am sure most of you could do this for less but maybe we can recoup this loss.
