Invite Ideas Needed.......library Fundraiser

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Hi all,

I've been contacted by a group called "friends of the library" who are organized and helping raise $ for new library. Well one of the ladies won a basket with a gift certificate I had put in it for a free show............we're doing as a fundraiser for library.

Help!!!

My ?? is: They want an invite they can "email" to people without having to enter everyone's emails into my web site (over 100) from 2 different groups that tells them to go to my site or to come to the library where we will be having a "cooking" show (with no kitchen and in the kids room) so I'm going to have to have everything ready, but maybe be able to show mandoline or easy things. I'm thinking someone's going to have to help me (pryaing I"ll need help, lol)

What would you put as invite???

In my mind, I'm thinking.......Read all about it.......fundraiser at library...??

Help, they want this yesterday, even though fundraiser isn't until Nov. as they've got committee meetings and such before hand.

Off to order more catalogs.

could u send yourself an evite from your website and then forward it to them? Would that work? Also, if any of them are computer literate you can import e-mail addresses from an address book and send evites that way, then they aren't typing in 100 addresses

My problem with using e-vite from PC is that I'm donating most of my commision, this is our local library where my Aunt and my mom both worked and all my kids went to story hour, so saying they will make 15% of sales is not right and I can't change that.

I also don't know how they could upload lists as it's actually from 2 different organizations, so not sure how that would work. But then again, the e-vite will also have wrong donation amount......just not sure what to do.:cry:

I'm also wondering, if I could on invite put something about a DCB bundle or check out my fundraiser specials on my site, or something to that effect, as I'm actually going to have 2 or possibly 3 fundraisers going at same time.

I'm going to order books, but again, just not sure how many and how many things I'll have to be printing. (Thank God for staples rewards for ink cartridges)

Any and all ideas are welcome.
