Getting the Auction Ball Rolling

Hello everyone and Happy New Year and New Semester!

As of yesterday, the EJF Auction was exactly three months away, so it's time to begin planning and working in earnest to make it happen. To that end, George, Ali, and I met yesterday to get things rolling. For all the juicy details, see the (mostly) complete notes from that meeting.

The two things we need to do right away are:

  1. A huge mass mailing to all past and prospective donors on our lists

  2. An Auction Kick-Off meeting to get volunteers excited about the auction and signed up to help

Those two priorities involve lots of smaller tasks, so the three of us thought it would be great if we could all meet next week to finalize the plans and settle all the details. Please let me know which of the following two meeting times would work best for you next week:

  1. Monday 1/12, 5-6 p.m. (preferred)
  2. Thurs 1/15 5-6 p.m.

If we can meet Monday, we could have the Kick-Off on Weds 1/14 (5 p.m.), which would be a good thing because that evening is also a mock trial info meeting night so many people will be sticking around the law school for that. Other possible times for the Kick-Off meeting include Thurs 1/15 (if we're not meeting then to plan it), or Wed 1/21.

Please use the comments link below to let everyone know if you can meet next Monday (1/12) at 5 p.m. I'll post a followup message by Monday morning to let everyone know if we're meeting and, if so, where.

Hi all,

Monday works for me, but Wednesday doesn't (Judicial Internships session at 5pm that day) -- please proceed without me on Wednesday if I'm the only one with a conflict...

One more comment:

Looking at your meeting notes from yesterday...I contacted Lexis and Westlaw in December.

Rita Webber and John Lim both told me to ask again this semester when they would have a better idea of their budgets.
