Come one, come all! Sign up to solicit your favorite businesses for auction donations!
A couple of weeks ago we sent letters to over 300 past and potential donors -- mostly local businesses. Now we need to visit those businesses in person to follow up on our letters and pick up donations. As a volunteer, you can now sign up to be responsible for collecting donations from your favorite businesses.
What: Choose and sign up for the donors you'd most like to solicit from!
When: Tues-Thurs (Feb 17-19), from 11-1
Where: Kelly Lounge (the leather lounge) main desk.
Simply stop by the Kelly Lounge table next week (Tues-Thurs, 11-1), look at the list of potential donors, and choose a dozen or more that you'd like to visit. That's it. Once you've chosen your list of donors, you'll be ready to visit with them whenever you want in the coming weeks (the sooner the better) to encourage them to donate and to collect their donations.
Bringing in donations from local businesses is the single most important thing you can do to ensure there's money for your and/or your colleagues to work in the public interest this summer. Without donations, we've got nothing to auction!
So stop by the table in the Kelley Lounge next week between 11-1 and sign up for the donors you're going to visit. If you can't make it by the table, we'll post the list of possible donors here next week so you can pick your donors then.
