Music City for Change Silent Auction Mtg - Sun, July 27th 2:30pm FIDO

[KarenLyu]

Hi Music City For Change members -

You are all invited to join the Music City for Change Silent Auction
Committee and/or to volunteer for the major silent auction event we
are planning for September.

Ed Petterson of the Music Row Democrats will be at the meeting Sunday,
and has connections to music celebrities who want to help out, so this
looks like a terrific fundraising opportunity.

The live silent auction (hopefully with a parallel online auction)
will be held either the 2nd or 3rd weekend of September (possibly UN
International Peace Day September 21st).

VOLUNTEERS - We will need volunteers for the event registration table,
voter registration/Obama items table, silent auction items monitoring,
computer techies, stage hands, stage manager, cashiers, food, set-up,
clean-up, publicity, a volunteer coordinator, and someone to be my
personal gofer at the event.

CO-CHAIR - We are also looking for a co-chair for this committee who
would be responsible for setting up the silent auction venue, dealing
with local restaurants/catering, booking the music + the MC and
possibly also be volunteer coordinator at the event.

VENUE - We're currently looking at having the event at a classy cheap
venue on either the Vanderbilt campus (1st choice) or the Belmont
campus (2nd choice - they're already having Obama there for a debate
Oct 7th).

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. (Ryman would be
very expensive.)

PS For some reason, I wasn't able send this out from my
ka...@globaljazz.net address (it bounced back), but I do have a Google
address kare...@gmail.com and I also have a Yahoo address
kl...@yahoo.com. Anything from those 3 emails will be from me.

I really feel that you should have it in conjunction with one of the
music events, preferable the mercy lounge 9/27. I don't think people will
come for the auction alone.

thanks,
