Greetings, Everyone!
Our second garage sale was only slightly more successful than the first one. We essentially were just short of covering the expenses incurred for the ad and signs so we didn't make a profit. We almost broke even. I don't know if it's the state of the economy, but people just weren't buying. I think we had a good selection of things and I was told it was very well organized. We slashed prices for the second sale hoping we would sell more, and we did sell a bit more, but nothing like we had hoped.
So, we have an idea: some of the things donated to the garage sale were either brand new or very much like new. We were thinking that we might raffle them off at the Holiday Party on December 7th. We have two complete computer systems; a brand new George Forman Grill; a set of pewter shot glasses; a set of Currier & Ives mugs; some collectible Blatz pilsner glasses; a PC projector; microwave ovens; and several other things that would make great prizes at a raffle. We will also get gift certificates like last year, but this way we will have more of a variety.
We are still working on the lineup for the night. So far confirmed performers are Mike Alton, Kevin Carlson, Shadowmatter, and Rizer. We are waiting for one more band to confirm. And we will get the full lineup in order of appearance to you as soon as we hear from that band. And we will most definitely have the open jam again after the performers so that should be fun.
The next meeting is Sunday, November 9th at 7PM at Woodstock Coffee House in Towne Lake. We will be electing new Team Leaders and have team signup sheets at that time so it is imperative that all of you please try to attend, OK? That is the main item on the agenda. We will also start planning events for next year and discuss the upcoming Holiday Event, and things we can do to make our event really fun and entertaining. Remember, that we need all of you to make this work. This is your organization and it's a fun one to be a part of!
Hope to see all of you at the meeting on Sunday, November 9th from 7-9PM. It's our last meeting of 2008!
Have a good week!
Be inspired!
