Barbeque

[Tina]

Hi folks,

Well as Dawn suggested maybe we need to poll the group, Deb what do
you think?

Food is a bigge and we definitely want to make sure that enought money
goes to NAF, expenses may be high. I am still looking at location.
Given I live in Marin I have been focusing in Marin. I am going to
contact two locations that may be ideal, that is if they will rent
space; one is Dominican College and the other is another beautiful
private high school. Both have large grounds, paved parking in
abundance. Otherwise if they strike out I may need suggestions in the
East Bay. I think I know of a place in Walnut Creek that may be good.

We do have a little time, but I think we need to make some decisions
soon. Once we lock in a location, if we bail we lose any deposit that
is in place. I just think the group needs to decide if the expense is
worth the reward. I understand about garage sale, ummm, I am reaching
but I know someone with a truck, that maybe if coerced could help
bring things, but again we appear to all live so far away.

I am sorry that my time and finances are restricted so I cannot do it
all myself. I will try to get some info on the location & costs by
early next week, so we see how much that will run.

By the way we should not serve alchohol as we would need insurance and
a bond, (sales of alchohol to the public is a big liability) so if we
go with barbecue route soft drinks is all we can serve hopefully
everone is okay with that. I only mention food types of fundraisers
tend to offer alcohol. If we deal only with donations, then raffle
prizes is a must. The whole would have to be involved in donating
prizes that people would want.

Deb let us know what you think, I assume this is only the second year
we are doing a fundraiser. Fundraisers are a lot of work both in
planning and executing.

Jody, do you want to give us a budget to work with since the costs
need to come out of the treasury?
