Hi Kay - just decided to send both email and a Word document (attached) with same info.  Let me know if I need to revise in any way.

 

Per our discussion, following are some notes pertaining to baskets for the Wine and Cheese fundraiser at Cellar55 for 2017:

·         NUMBER OF BASKETS:  Agreement on the necessity to reduce the number of baskets from the 14 in 2016 to approximately 5 in 2017 (larger more comprehensive focus) for the following reasons:

1.      Space limitations

2.      Many people are unable to stay an entire afternoon – IF PEOPLE KNOW THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN SOMETHING, THEY WILL BUY MORE RAFFLE TICKETS

3.      SUGGEST HAVING RAFFLES EARLY IN AFTERNOON FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE STATED ABOVE – SAVE A LARGER ONE UNTIL THE END

4.      Provides for more time to present the purpose of the fundraiser and is more professional and organized

5.      Is more in line with what other fundraisers have presented successfully 

6.      NO DONATIONS BEYOND THIS NUMBER OF BASKETS WILL BE TURNED AWAY

·         FOCUS ON MOST POPULAR BASKETS:  Agreement that the most popular baskets with the higher number of tickets in each bucket were

1.      ENTERTAINMENT-  this can be defined as, though not limited to:

a)      WINE OR ANY TYPE OF BEVERAGE (CELLAR55 DONATED WINE AND PASTA BASKETS WERE A HUGE HIT LAST YEAR) – SO WAS THE DONATED PIZZA PARED WITH A NICE PIZZA PAN AND SOME SODA POP

b)      FOOD (PIZZA; GIFT CARDS FOR RESTAURANTS OR FAST FOOD PLACES)

c)      MOVIES (DVD’S OR TICKETS – GIFT CARDS TO THEATRES)

d)      STAY-AT-HOME ENTERTAINMENT (HAND-MADE AFGHAN; COFFEE; TEAS; ANY FOOD ITEMS; POPCORN POPPER; SODA POP; CANDIES, LOTTERY TICKETS, ETC.)

e)       SPA TYPE ITEMS - The donated massage last year was very desirable – couple it with nice candles or treats (food, wine)

·         SUGGESTED APPROACH BY ALL NFB CLARK COUNTY NFB MEMBERS TO ENSURE SUCCESS:

1.      START NOW – EACH PERSON BRING IN INDIVIDUAL ITEMS (OR A COMPLETE BASKET IS ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE) 

2.      Kay Kipp has volunteered to assemble the baskets (she has prior experience) – it is suggested to have several people help out.  This is a big job

3.      ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS DONATED WILL BE ASSEMBLED INTO GROUPINGS IN A BASKET TO INCREASE THE VALUE AND ENCOURAGE THE SALE OF MORE RAFFLE TICKETS FOR BIGGER PRIZES
