I've thought about this for the 4 years I've been a consultant and finally did it! Somehow PC linking us up with HWC in October made it doable for me.

I'm holding a HWC/ American Cancer Society fundraiser, where PC donates 25% of sales to ACS and I donate 10% to church outreach.

I wanted 80 people in attendance, 20 whom I don't know from outside of church. I've told everyone again and again it is a fundraiser and to please bring their checkbooks.

I'm at almost 40 in attendance, 2 weeks to go! Am putting the word out to outside sources now.

I am charging admission, to cover costs of food and wine, plus give each guest some tokens to participate...

I'll hold 2 bingo games, 1 at the instant of 7pm where there is first a regular bingo, then there is a "postage stamp" 2 by 3 win, then an inner ring/outer ring win, then there is a total blackout - 4 prizes per game. I'm hoping it takes about 20-25minutes to reach total blackout. Prizes will be past products and some spices. I also bought the calendars (I'll make some noteworthy thing about November 3 being such a good date we do it twice) and have lots of past Season's Best to use as prizes. Top Bingo prize will be $50 off toward your PC order that evening, or donate the money to our causes - 85% to ACS, 15% to church outreach.

I'm soliciting the help of table hosts and co-planners; see the attachments for details.

It should be fun!

...anything you can think of??

my goals are a 4K show with 1K to ACS, 400 to outreach. I'll post to let you know.
 
Scott, you have $10.00/person on the ad, and $12.00/person on the ticket.

". . . anything you can think of?" Yeah!! Wish I didn't live 3000 miles away!! Sounds fun, and I'd LOVE to be there to help. Too lazy to look at a map - how far is Bellevue from Seattle and from Ellensburg? That's where I have family.

Today's your first Sunday, how were your ticket sales?

I'll be praying for this to be a HUGE success for you (and ACS and the church outreach).

The ticket was $10 in September, is now $12 in October... Bellevue is 7 miles from Seattle - just across either of the 2 bridges. About 1 1/2 hours from Ellensburg. Tickets are about 45 sold with 7 hosts. Fingers crossed!!

45 attended, had food left over, not enough to help with cleanup and got scolded for leaving the kitchen in a mess (left at 1am having been there 12 hours), did everything except wipe out the sink and mop the floor, so I went in and did that this morning.

So far $557 and more orders coming in. I've emailed "reminder" evites from the website for those who said they'd order.
