[FFCF-Fundraising] FW: Amy in Fresno

[Vic Bedoian]

Folks,
 
Here is the confirmation from Denis on the Amy event on September 24.  The
Machinists Union hall has been reserved and costs only $75.  Sounds like the
event should be roughly from 11 am to 2 pm.  That should give ample time for
late plane arrival and to get back to the airport.  Another thought - are
community groups going to set up tables or anything like that?  If so
someone needs to take on the task of figuring out which groups to invite and
contacting them.  
 
We have already discussed the following and we'll need to make final
decisions soon: 
 
Are we going with the $10 ticket price?  I understand that the hall holds
300 seated in chairs (only 120 at tables).    
 
Are we going to give first crack at Amy tickets to banquet ticket buyers?
How exactly will that work?  I have some questions about it and don't really
know the answers.  It could get complicated. 
 
The food menu needs to be decided and tasks assigned.  There needs to be a
designated clean up crew, as that's part of the good deal we're getting on
the hall.  Are we going to use paper plates and plastic forks and set up
recycling cans?  Are we going to provide coffee and or juice?  Who's doing
that part?
 
Anyway, there are lots of things that need to be worked out.  Maybe before
too long there needs to be a meeting of people working on this event (the
organizing part) to get the ball rolling.  Seven weeks goes by faster than
we think.  Plus, the banquet will be the week after and tickets will be sold
concurrently - so we have to keep things as simple as possible, for the sake
of everyone's sanity.
 
Vic

Hi Denis,
 
Wanted to touch base with you about you guys coming to Fresno on September
24 for a brunch gathering of the tribes.  We have reserved a venue - it's
the Machinists Union Hall here in Fresno.  They are letting us have it for
almost nothing and it will hold 300 people seated and has a kitchen.  We
will do the brunch food with volunteer chefs and elves.  So that is taken
care of.  I will start the publicity about mid-August.  Are you still
planning on arriving about 9 am on Sunday September 24 and leaving in the
early afternoon?  Is there anything else I should know about?  Hope all is
well with you in these sadly turbulent times.
 
Best Wishes,
Vic
