It looks like the Friday night of the weekend of the Clone Wars release is the night that we need to have our Dinner/Movie event, shoudl we go ahead with it. This gives those of you with potential work conflicts more than 6 weeks to try to change your schedules so you ca be at the event. As we said at the meeting, if we do this, we need to do it well. That means 100% participation from ALL of the members. Understandably, not everyone will be able to make arrangements to attend the event, but please do your best to try to be there. If you cannot make it, we will expect you to contribute in some significant way during the planning stages of the event. I am not personally comfortable in using my little free time and energy I have currently on beginning to advertise and promote an event that everyone does not seem supportive of. Please make your opinions and/or your willingness to be involved known here in the coming days. I hope we can pull it together as a group!

Hey Steve,

I'm in. We have talked a little about it so far and I'm sure we'll talk more. I'll do what ever I can to make this work. I'll talk to Ralph this week and see what we can come up with for the shop. I know they will be having a get together to go to the movie like we did with Indy. So if we can get that many people to show up before hand for a meal. We may just beable to pull it off.

We'll talk.

Later,
TK

I'll check with Amanda, but I think that is the weekend that we head for the beach in Maryland with my mom and the kids.

So I guess going forward, we need to look at these things:


  • What theater we want to have the event at, and inquire if we can get a reduced rate on the tickets



  • Print up tickets for the dinner (if we are going to have a set amount, after all we don't want to oversell the movie tickets), and determine price



  • Plan on how we want to advertise



  • Have a banner created for the event


  • I'm pretty much guessing between the movie tickets and the printing of dinner tickets that would eat up most if not all the funds that we have now. Or am I overstating how much stuff we have to do here? Any corners we can cut?

    Friday should be fine. If we go on vacation we will be leaving Saturday morning. I don't think we need to have tickets made up for the dinner and movie. There are tickets that we can buy that come in two. When people buy the tickets they get both parts. when they show for dinner we take one part and for the movie take the other part. These tickets are about $10.00 for roll of thousand. I have rolls I will give to the group. Steve is right though. If we want to do this we need to decide now. I will need to ask permison to use the cafe which I dont see a problem.

    Just let me know what I can do to help. From the preparations to the night of the event, I'm available. If you want it, I can pm you my number, might make communication easier during the planning stages of this.

    Another thought popped into my head... are we going to need a license or anything since we are doing a fund raiser, or at least something from Make A Wish? I have no idea how this works... maybe TK knows?

    We wont' need a license to make a donation. We won't be acting on the organizations behalf, only as our own group who will make a donation. We can ask them, once we get going, if they want to add any signs ffrom their organization to have out during the event.

    It's good to see posts on here about the event, but we still need commitments to actually do some of the things that have been discussed. I'll see what I can do to make a "to-do" list that folks can commit to a task and complete it. We still need to hear from Brandon, Andy, Tara, and Pete. Getting commitments from everyone for that Friday evening will double our work force.

    John, maybe a poll for who can attend on that particular day?? Not sure how else to get folks to say a clear yes or no about attending the event...

    I'm on vacation in SC but will try to check in a couple of times during hte week....

    Hey Steve,

    I'll talk to Ralph about the plan this week and see how he can help. I know he'd like it and I'm sure he can get a lot of people to go for it. So we'll see.

    As for Brandon, he is also on vaction this week in MI. he'll be back next monday I think. I know he'll help anyway he can. The only thing by then he'll be back at work and I know he works fridays. So it maybe harder for him on that day. But we'll see.

    As for me.... by than I'll have acouple extra days saved up and I'll most likely take a couple off. Like Thursday and Friday to help. I have the weeekend off because I'll be doing the 501st event as well in Danvers MA. But it will not miss up helping with ours.

    I'm sure we'll talk more about it. I'll let know what I come up with.

    SeeYa,
    TK

    So far, I am still not comfortable proceeding with this knowing that we have only 4 or 5 of us committed to preparing and attending the event. We need to do this very well and need to dedicate a lot of time to it. If there are only 4 or 5 of us doing the work of 9 or 10 people, there's going to be a lot of last minute things getting done because of "life" constraints...
